English translation:It's just a cake before... (?!)
Explanation:
Hi Debbie,

"Folum" should be "solum" because "folum" does not exist in Latin. Maybe it's written in that kind of old font with "f-looking" s's?

Libum is a cake, pancake of meal, made with milk or oil, and spread with honey... :)

Ante means "before something" (locative). Are you sure you have no words after that?

Literally it could be "It's just a cake before..." or "It's a lonely cake" ;)

I can't help any further...hope it helps somehow though... :)

Best wishes, Flavio

read instructions first


Explanation:
I think that "folum" might be "folium" (sheet of paper) here. This being approximate Latin, libus could be something like "read":
first read the paper, that is the instruction sheet.

I even tried esperanto with no luck, or else my Latin memories are fading.
