Miller, Charles Earle. Charlie Miller?s Cake in the Hat Pan. Circa 1935. Two-part gimmicked metal pan used to apparently bake a cake in a borrowed hat. In a metal packing container. Sold together with a typed recipe for the cake used in Al Baker?s famous version of the Cake in the Hat routine. Owned and used by Charlie Miller, who most likely learned the routine from Baker himself.
