      When u see carefully you'll notice that drop was not for the ' i '. It became a part of the A's downstroke. See how close the start of A is to the dot at 2:35 . He placed the A to cover up the accidental drop.

    That cake was made for someone's 60th anniversary, and now we're watching the video 60 years later... Whatever anniversary they were celebrating happened 120 years ago, and it has been probably completely forgotten to everyone but those who watch this video.... Kinda mind blowing if you ask me

      And if it weren't for the internet, we'd probably never get a chance to see these films. I once heard on the radio a recording of a man who saw the Duke of Wellington's funeral in 1852. And there's a photo out there of Hannah Stilley that was taken when she was 94 . She's the earliest born human being to have been photographed, born 1746, closer to the Tudors than to us now.

      @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.

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

      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.

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!😊❤
