Does anyone know how to finish/bake or can explain what these cakes are.  The types in the book are: Drop Cakes, Wine Cakes, Lady Cakes, Lunch Cakes, Fancy Cakes, etc.   There are more.  I figure that a drop cake is simply dropping the batter onto a flat sheet pan from a spoon.  There is no wine in the Wine Cake recipes. Thanks, Armando ASellers
