What you're hearing is called light music, the 50s/60s had a lot of this type of music played in the backgrounds of supermarkets, department stores, film, tv etc.
@Childish Gambino Recieved Pronounciation I assume, All British Television and radio announcers were required to speak in a tone simmilar to that of the Queen, However we could consider Recieved Pronounciation is exclusively there to represent the Upper-Middle classes and has very little accent's influencing their pronounciation, Hence why RP was considered to integrate all reigons for a generic speech.
Somehow, the music and the narrator's voice and that pseudo-pastel coloring make everything seem "happy," not just the process of cake decorating but the entire 50s.

If you browse videos on the channel that uploaded this, videos from that time period (50s - early 70s, probably) are often like that. There's even a 1959 video of an Owl eating chicken at a Restaurant,* and they still have the music. *That video is "Owl Dines Nightly."
60 years ago, this cake serve as a grand addition to a 60th anniversary event. So 120 years ago, someone had something great for them that calls for an anniversary celebration (could be marriage, birthday, or any event). Those who actually eat or order the cake might forget it or most likely no longer live with us. But through this video, we're able to grasp a tiny detail of that event, which was this awesome cake from Mr. Brian
Old school craftsperson , with the shirt and tie underneath the white jacket , was the done thing back in the day in many trades and crafts, not just in catering. Brilliant.
So true i was so lucky to work with a proper old school chef, very tall hat, very long apron and a very long roasting fork, with the obligatory properly starched and folded necktie. He always said dress the part and you will act it. It was a privaledge and great education to work with him
I had seen this this on my recommendations a few times but kept passing, I finally clicked today, oh, boy was I blown away! Magnificent work of art. I don’t think I would have been able to eat a cake decorated by this phenomenal artist, would have almost felt like a sin. May he rest in peace.
Such mastery of his craft.... And here I am, with my little wooden spoon, just slathering frosting on cupcakes. Tasty frosting, but not artistry by any means.

Getting a cake from the local baker was such a treat even in the mid 90s growing up. most of the bakeries now don't have the same feeling walking in...I'm not sure if that's just me getting old or me getting sick of mass produced crap lol
Back then you had no alternative. If you wanted a decorated cake then you had to pay someone to do it. These days you could almost have a robot make one, though maybe not as nice.
Only because this man was excellent at it. He had rich people pay him good money for it. If the skill or product is in high demand, especially by rich people, it will be rewarding in money.
When the commentator said that he had been working on cakes since 1919, and that his own father had owned the business for like 60 years prior, I was like 👁👄👁 time be wild.
It's really interesting that so many people make the same comment as Day Dreamer. But, as a amateur cake artist myself, the creator never feels that way. I think the artist gets their final satisfaction when the cake is done. He or she may step back and admire their own work for a moment, take a photo and then psychologically they let go. If you get to see people admiring your cake and saying how delicious it is, that's an added bonus, but not even really necessary for the cake artist to feel satisfied.
Jack Bryant was the son of William Bryant, who had also been the head of the Cake Icing Department. In 1947 Jack Bryant worked for three weeks, including weekends, to ice the royal wedding cake for the marriage of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. The cake was originally designed to weigh 400lb but Buckingham Palace requested a reduced 'Austerity' cake of only 195lb! Jack Bryant demonstrated his art for BBC television in 1954 in a programme called 'Sculpture in Sugar'. At the time he had worked for Huntley & Palmers for 41 years. His father had decorated cakes for Huntley & Palmers for 62 years.
I just love how back in those times, people had a (different) sense of work ethics and integrity. Look at that pastry chef, he is enthralled by his work. Such precise workmanship. I'm a pastry chef as well and cakes have definitely come a long way from then, and we take our work very seriously... But there's just something so special about the (relative) "simplicity" of cakes back then and how important the role of a pastry chef was.
My mum was taught this profession back in the 1970s. I have access to the materials used here as she's got a shop and it isn't easy not at all. Funnily enough my mum was born near 1959. Her place is called Tiers cakes and is in Glasgow, Scotland

MrZarewna the voiceover artist in the video isn’t speaking in a mid-Atlantic accent because he is British. It was only American actors and some of the elites who adopted the mid-Atlantic accent.
AMV Empire It’s a dead on accent for an American actor from the 40s. I thought it was one of those videos. Where they send American crews to cover international human interest stories.

This is exactly what I was taught when I began to learn my craft in 1966, with the Hartley Smith School! I still make the occasional Royal Iced creation, but sadly, though very beautiful, they're just not in vogue anymore. It's mostly "posh" sponge cake, red velvet, carrot cake, etc., and fondant or butter cream, with petal paste flowers and/or lots of chocolate. Still beautiful, and still needing skill, but..... those were the days!😊❤
That is the middle of the cake and it's were he wants the dot for the "i" to be, since that is the middle of the phrase. That way, he can judge the sizing and scale of the letters.
those were all fruit cakes and with liquored up fruit cake you had months to decorate exquisitely. Now people want sponge and pound cake. They don't keep so you have to work really really fast - health.
Agreed. Also yeah you xan freeze a cake but it buys you ultimately how long? Not long really. Maybe a day or two depending on flavors and such. And also people like to order cakes the day before all the time.
@@abijigoku - the kinds of cakes you get that are ordered two days ahead of time now don't get anything like this kind of attention, skill and dexterity. Mostly they get plastic bits, computerized transfers, icing roses you learn the first day of cake decorating class, and a couple of words in sugar icing on the top. And you need to be careful how those order forms are filled out, too - I've seen the decorators take it absolutely literally when they read the directions! Things like "No wording here" actually getting transferred to the portion for the greeting!! 😉
@@sharid76 No youd be surprised the balls some people have the day before they need the cake. I've had last minute order requests some days and had them ask for chocolate work /pieces to gum paste flowers covering a 4 tier. And you can do a lot with 2 days notice. More that plastic toys and icing prints or buttercream flowers.
@@abijigoku As a cake decorator of 40+ years, I hate the idea of plastic toys (or plastic anything) on a cake! But buttercream flowers are beautiful, and they take skill to make, and I take great pride in the skill I have in making them, especially since I detest fondant and refuse to use it. I refuse to put anything on a cake that others peel off before they consider it edible.
This reminds me of a baker across the street in the village where I lived in the late 50s. He made large trays of small cakes. He often asked me to put little chocolate leaves or silver balls or any other sugar decorations on the finished product. Very time consuming for him but fantastic for me. He always asked me because the other kids kept eating all the decorations. Lol.
What a talent👏👏 GREAT. When I held a mobile phone in my hand for the first time, I felt soooooo excited, but now I feel sooo happy a thousand times more than that, when I see this landline phone hanging in the wall, by his side😍😍

The fact that he just DROP the dot for the ‘I’ in anniversary and was spot on in the length of the calligraphy icing was what did it for me
Yeah, I thought maybe a mistake was made but after anniversary was spelled out it was correctly positioned. Mad respect .
The level of precision is astonishing! A true master.
I thought it was a fly

And you need to be careful how those order forms are filled out, too - I've seen the decorators take it absolutely literally when they read the directions! Things like "No wording here" actually getting transferred to the portion for the greeting!! 😉
@@sharid76 No youd be surprised the balls some people have the day before they need the cake.
I've had last minute order requests some days and had them ask for chocolate work /pieces to gum paste flowers covering a 4 tier.
And you can do a lot with 2 days notice. More that plastic toys and icing prints or buttercream flowers.
@@abijigoku As a cake decorator of 40+ years, I hate the idea of plastic toys (or plastic anything) on a cake! But buttercream flowers are beautiful, and they take skill to make, and I take great pride in the skill I have in making them, especially since I detest fondant and refuse to use it. I refuse to put anything on a cake that others peel off before they consider it edible.
Unbelievably so good. The accuracy and the beauty.
50 years before ace of cakes
This reminds me of a baker across the street in the village where I lived in the late 50s. He made large trays of small cakes. He often asked me to put little chocolate leaves or silver balls or any other sugar decorations on the finished product. Very time consuming for him but fantastic for me. He always asked me because the other kids kept eating all the decorations. Lol.
"No hairnet required for this chap. His years of experience tell him exactly how to use his fibers to create that wonderful three dimensional look."
his art was a mouth dropping, AMAZING!!
He is such a perfectionist and so focused and serious , if only I could concentrate and focus on my studies that well smh.
What a talent👏👏 GREAT.
When I held a mobile phone in my hand for the first time, I felt soooooo excited, but now I feel sooo happy a thousand times more than that, when I see this landline phone hanging in the wall, by his side😍😍
Truly amazing artistry, and a beautiful cake!
Clearly from a far less fastidious era, however.
I am humbled after watching this, and I don’t know nuffin about cake decorating. Truly in Awe.
