I am excited!
this looks like a fabulous place to visit and is so interesting to watch!
what an excellent video!
I have an ancestor, Jakob Disaker, who was a blacksmith that was part of the craftsmen there in New Bern.
Q: What are the two holes for on either (inside) sides of the open hearth? What are the holds used for? That seems to be one of the easiest 12th Night cakes I've seen demonstrated. I have watched other 'authentic / historic / British' versions of a 12th Night. They all have tones of ingredients, involve letting it 'sit' / go stale / marinate, for weeks or months on end, and in the end didn't sound very appetizing at all!! I have often wondered what is the difference betw a 12th Night cake and what we in America would call a fruit cake? Does anybody know?

So in the cooking section he states that he can't use yeast because we hadn't invented it yet? Incredible how they were able to make beer back then without yeast isn't it?... Wasn't barm used in the making of bread? Why couldn't it be used in a cake recipe as well?

BogBones yes I found that kind of interesting to me as well cuz in the Bible it talks about having leavened cakes and unleavened cakes and that was a good thousand years before colonial times so I would think there would have still been some kind of used somehow maybe the colonial people just didn't have it or didn't know about it but it was around and they had to use it like you said to make beer

There was definitely yeast in the 18th century. Wild yeast has been captured in the air since ancient times. Baking soda and powder weren't invented yet, though. A quick search of Hannah Glasse's colonial era cookbook mentions yeast several times.
