The Remains of the “Pride and Prejudice” Celebratory Cake
…..it was delicious:)
I thought you might like to see the beautiful cake that was made for the Jane Austen House Musuem’s celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the first publication of Pride and Prejudice…Mr Woodhouse would have been appalled;)

Apologies to Emma’s dear ol’ Dad, but I expected as much! The only thing I’ve wondered about is how on Earth they did the lettering! Have you ever tried to write with a bag full of icing? Not an easy thing; must have been done another way.

Oops! I forgot I could still enlarge some of your pictures, so I didn’t do it. You are correct, of course, but still, whoever did it has a master’s skill. It was really amazingly well done, and a joy to study up-close. Thanks for answering my question so I could admire it even more!
