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 🇬🇧👧
@@jxavier3876 I haven't seen this kind of stuff in ages, mostly because marzipan is quite unhealthy and people don't tend to buy it much. Then again, it's probably no worse than the preservative loaded stuff of today.
@@jamescollins6085 I guess that’s a zoomed in look at it, but as a whole I don’t think baking and bread making is declining. Your explanation makes plenty sense.
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.
Bread! It’s just delicious bread! Seeing the thumbnail picture, at first I thought they were snakes, then I thought they were some kind of nasty creepy crawlers. Thankfully, I was wrong! 😅
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.

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".

I love that these old films exist and have been digitised.
3:08 Those figures are simply adorable!
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!
They never used masks, gloves and caps. Yet surprisingly healthy. I liked this bread engineering. Clay for using their endless creativity.
6:03 they just made a "WHO ELSE DOES THIS?!?!" meme before it was even a thing
“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.
Wow those icing portraits!!! And i thought my Elmo cake was elaborate!!!! Thank you for sharing
Such amazing craftsmanship!
I can't believe how far cake technology has come since then!
Old is gold 😍..thanks for sharing 🥰
Ppl were so creative back then
they make it look so easy. sigh.
I love the great old films of manufacturing, production, bakery and pastries, etc. The only thing I always notice is the narrator's puns...
Before machines' influence on mankind, people were so talented
Amazing Artistry ! 😄
Thank you for posting , I really enjoyed
Well that's a real Baker.
that bakery person is a perfect for the queen
I'm so happy I found this channel, I subscribed!
Such a delightful video..loved the narration 💛
Good thing we watched this while we're eating lunch! I'd be eating the mouse otherwise, and licking the wall!
There's something about this narration style that is perfect when it comes to subtly taking the piss.
Ahh

its more like fine delicate art than baking. Very inspirational.

It's a really high art. Wow, just amazing !!! 🇮🇱❤️😋😲
Paul looks so happy making his little marzipan animals
Not seen a harvest festival wheatsheaf since I was in Infants School, the 80s. Don't hear of them being made at all, nowadays
superb. Enid Blyton’s England come to life.
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 🥰😋
i loved the old civilization...and its beautiness
Everything was an art in those era. :)
I love how the narrator keeps commenting on how hard it is to find handmade bread “in this day in age”
Beautiful Queen Cake🌹
I like this channel muchh!!!!!!
Qué paciencia! obras de arte culinarias!

What patience these people had, on the other hand, people today complain about peeling a banana badly
Simply amazing.

Wonderful. All so beautiful done.
Omg this looks so yummy
Flies are included in the recipe?

Pizza Restaurants can learn from this type of skill. Make the crust Better, not just a cylinder wrapped around tomato cheesy goodness.

Yep. 1931 was the first illustration commissioned by Coca-Cola.

Estou fascinada
Nothing better tham this
next month: shops, shoping groceries like theese days wallmart
Great idea. All best, BP
Amazing craftsmanship and even in the 1960s the narrator mentions that the baking is a dying art sad indeed.
Such a quality video in 1955😲😲😲😲😲🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Excellent video
These guys and their wives raised 3 kids, sent them on to professions, had a house and went on holiday once a year.
