Thank you for this relaxing video British Pathe! I used to make apple strudel with my Mom and sister in the 60s! Mom had learned from her grandmother. The three of us stood around our round kitchen table, stretching the dough in the air with our fingertips, until we could read the newspaper through the dough! From Boston USA
I was once given a marvellous cook book which was an exact copy of Baking & Cooking for a Tudor Banquet !! I was left speechless at the photos of carefully reproduced cake decorating of 500years ago! The utterly exquisite sugar paste figures, shields, flora & fauna, replica jewels, fruits & Even musical instruments in painstaking detail & tremendous skill & artistry Also similar creations in Marchpane ( a forerunner of marzipan ) Colour photos of cakes up to 8 tiers in hight! Bowls of life size sugar paste fruits, incredible menus of Banquets for kings & Queens of 20 courses !!! There are even lists from the masterchefs & pastry chefs, makers of sweetmeats & the patisserie makers of all the ingredients required for the huge feasts The lists gave amounts, prices I cant tell you the amount of produce required.. its mind boggling! But some of the big banquets went on for 2 or 3 days & guests were in the hundreds & had to be seated & served all these courses In 1st, 2nd or 3rd servings over the required days! Whole herds of sheep & cattle were driven from the country into the Royal kitchens & put in paddocks to cater to the vast guest lists 100's of chickens, ducks, pheasants, thousands of eggs, gallons of milk, every fish available ready in the Royal ponds! So huge was the amount of work & people to do it that outside great fires were set with meat on spits as the kitchens werent big enough I wont even get started on the beer, ale & wine consumption! Its a brilliant book! & ive another book similar with all the recipies in! But! Ive NEVER seen such cake decorating or Sugarpaste sculpting so marvellous ! There was even a set of Playing Cards all made from Sugar paste work! Thank you, this was a really interesting video Regards 🇬🇧👧
So the pillsbury dough boy is literally a play on how the people who worked dough (like Apprenticeship) were called dough boys and they worse solid white uniforms because white is the only color flour doesn't make look bad when baking/working with flour.
I don't know what's more impressive, the baking or the narrator's seemingly endless supply of puns.
ao el hahahahahhaha
That should be endless supply of buns!
One of the commentators sounded like Eammon Andrews to me.
There are so many I miss half of themxD
haha
A lot of men who find baking intriguing in this video.
:)
I'm into cake making myself. Nowt wrong wi' that!
But only as a hobby rather than the housewives
I just like knowing Soviet recipes and silly baking recipes. Don't ask why, these two styles came to my interest randomly.

Great British Baking | British Pathé 0944am 16.5.23 i'm allergic to marzipan. that's why i never eat your cakes...
Seeing paul showing us how to make marzipan in the 1960s and then jumping back to the same man in the 1930s was such an amazing transition. Bravo
"for the housewife, or a man who finds it an intriguing hobby"
Yes. Back when people knew if they were male or female.

Don’t stop archiving these video treasures!!!!
This is a pleasure to my eyes and to my soul. Thanks a lot for share such a treasure. Greeting from Argentina.
Greetings from BP. Glad you are enjoying the archive Nicholas.
He used Pi to measure the amount of marzipan on the cake edge!
Yeah, and to neatly arrange cake tops, he'd need Euler's formula. However, I think it may for this guy be a case of "using The Force".
AKA three saucepn lids. 🤣

@@thefreedomguyuk Using the force? No, I don’t think physics came into his calculations. Simply geometry suffices. ;)
"Marsipantimime" might be one of the best puns I've heard in a long time.
The pace, the cinematography, the narration... and the bread. Lovely!
Next month should be retro futurism! What people thought the future would be like!
that would be so cool!
We really like that idea! Will consider it for next month. All best, BP

The true Great British Bake Off
For the housewife, or the the man who finds it an intriguing hobby.
I am watching this on 25th December 2020. Happy Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you as well.
Happy New Year 💓🎉🎉
@@gennlydonci5721 😘 same wishes to you as well
And now happy new year everyone😘
Oh my gosh i found the vintage food channel with the amazing voice over. 😂
I love that these old films exist and have been digitised.
Didn't know that Nick Jonas was a baker
Not even
they should have an art museum to exhibit these brillilant artwork
If only they were non-perishable...
@@prezzyjim And non-edible! Don't leave me alone with one of those!
3:08 Those figures are simply adorable!
Wow those icing portraits!!! And i thought my Elmo cake was elaborate!!!! Thank you for sharing
Oh my! Its only 9'45am, but I'm hungry! It shows how much we have lost when one looks at these experts at work! They took pride in their work!
Such amazing craftsmanship!
Old is gold 😍..thanks for sharing 🥰
I can't believe how far cake technology has come since then!
6:03 they just made a "WHO ELSE DOES THIS?!?!" meme before it was even a thing
Ppl were so creative back then
Before machines' influence on mankind, people were so talented
Well that's a real Baker.
Amazing Artistry ! 😄
Thank you for posting , I really enjoyed
Absolutely love these videos thank you sir 🇬🇧
Very enjoyable! ❤️👍🏻
Such a delightful video..loved the narration 💛
“A slice of Queen Elizabeth cake” - shows painting of Mary, Queen of Scots
Me Here or is it Elizabeth I?
@@hntrbr It's totally Elizabeth. I mean, who would make a Queen Mary cake?
It's Elizabeth I. The ginger hair is a giveaway.
Actually, it's Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia. Painted by Marcus Gheeraerts in 1612! Don't you just hate a know-all? 🙄
The near in blood the nearer Bloody Mary Queen of Scots had red hair also.
There's something about this narration style that is perfect when it comes to subtly taking the piss.
I love the great old films of manufacturing, production, bakery and pastries, etc. The only thing I always notice is the narrator's puns...
Ahh
Sweet Old Days
that bakery person is a perfect for the queen
Good thing we watched this while we're eating lunch! I'd be eating the mouse otherwise, and licking the wall!
I like this channel muchh!!!!!!
Not seen a harvest festival wheatsheaf since I was in Infants School, the 80s. Don't hear of them being made at all, nowadays
見てて楽しいぃ〜っ！✨✨🥐
このテカテカツヤツヤした焦げ茶色🤎のパン！！
おとぎ話とか、絵本に出てくる感じで好きなのよね。
あと後半やっぱり科学者みたいなおじさんがお菓子作ってるのウケる。
Brilliantly documented, as usual! 😄
they make it look so easy. sigh.
I'm so happy I found this channel, I subscribed!
I thought that was a octopus in the thumbnail
Exactly
its more like fine delicate art than baking. Very inspirational.
Wonderful. All so beautiful done.
Great Video!
Greetings from Hong Kong.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this 🥰🥰
Paul looks so happy making his little marzipan animals
All your films are amazing. Greetings from Russia, Syzran town
Simply amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! All best, BP
Omg this looks so yummy
5:00 he's using math
They never used masks, gloves and caps. Yet surprisingly healthy. I liked this bread engineering. Clay for using their endless creativity.
Beautiful Queen Cake🌹
I love how the narrator keeps commenting on how hard it is to find handmade bread “in this day in age”
I wish I was alive during those simpler times
superb. Enid Blyton’s England come to life.
8:21 LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That trick of cutting through both sides is often used in the goldsmiths trade for creating a perfect solder line when sizing a ring
What patience these people had, on the other hand, people today complain about peeling a banana badly
So the pillsbury dough boy is literally a play on how the people who worked dough (like Apprenticeship) were called dough boys and they worse solid white uniforms because white is the only color flour doesn't make look bad when baking/working with flour.
Baking the old fashioned way, but still love it, nowadays bakers have all the convenience to make all sorts of breads and cakes in a whim 🥰😋
8:20 Creepy 'Bake' Face.

yea boi
What's more creepy is most the people who commented on this video have probally died by now.
Everything was an art in those era. :)
Excellent video
Qué paciencia! obras de arte culinarias!
i loved the old civilization...and its beautiness
god his puns are so dry in a really funny way. typical british humor
It's a really high art. Wow, just amazing !!! 🇮🇱❤️😋😲
I'm happy nobody asked where are the gloves ...
This looks so good! 😍🤗😍
Прекрасно и вкусно!👍
Flies are included in the recipe?
Grandes artistas ...
Estou fascinada
Nice look and hard work
Look at all that mold on the wall. And the scorched paint too, due to the humidity. Yum.
Thank you.
Amazing creative 🍞 bread
Very beautiful ❤️
All the best 👍
What always amazes me is the quality of that dough. 2:00 - !!
Astounding.
next month: shops, shoping groceries like theese days wallmart
Great idea. All best, BP
01:15 - Flies!
Nothing better tham this
Charming =)
Thanks! Love it!🌹
