Reading, Berkshire.
C/U shot of hands pouring a chocolate filling into an icing bag. A man fills the bag and moves it away. M/S of another man decorating cake. High angle C/U shot of the cake as the man decorates it. Decorations look amazing - very precise and very fragile. The artist's name is Mr Jack Bryant and he is decorating cakes since 1913 in the same cake and biscuit factory in Reading where his father was doing it for 60 years.
High angle C/U shot of the cake as Mr Bryant draws a kangaroo in almost no time - extraordinary skill. M/S of Mr Bryant climbing onto scaffolding?! He has to lie down on it in order to decorate a central motif on a large white cake. C/U shot of a little flowery detail on the cake. M/S of Mr Bryant decorating the cake in lying position. C/U shot of Mr Bryant's face as he works.
L/S of the room enables the spectators to see how large the cake is - it is nearly size of a bed. Several shots of Mr Bryant working. High angle M/S of the cake. Mr Bryant is writing "60th Anniversary" on the cake. As Mr Bryant moves away, audience sees the cake with all its decorations and the sign - great!
BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/

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.

    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.
