Food historians define retro as anything from the 20s to the 70s, but within those decades there dozens of sub cultures and categories. Retro desserts spring from the sort of packaged sweets made popular during war time as much as they come from soda fountain culture. They include slab pies and other farmhouse favorites, as well as classic regional specialties like Charleston's famed Lady Baltimore Cake. And one can't forget the iconic desserts from the pages of Sunset magazine 40 years ago, or the menus of institutional restaurants like the Brown Derby in 1960s Hollywood.
