A recent family wedding was celebrated with a Mad Hatter's Tea Party* theme in a lovely country tea garden. *This was based on the Alice in Wonderland stories of Lewis Carroll.

The Black Panther super hero exists in a forest realm so the cake had to be surrounded by trees, albeit not particularly realistic ones. The larger figure was about 6 inches tall and had to be hidden within the cake. That is why the cake was tall and still needed a plinth to make it tall enough. He can barely be seen through the opening in the cake.

This is my wife's favorite design, with the easel, water colour set, the pallette and brushes and the set of colour pencils in their case.

The naughty rabbits are stealing the farmer's carrots. They and the 'ducks' were from a mould set for Easter cakes - Easter Bunnies and chicks. The carrots were probably intended to decorate carrot cake slices. The pumpkins in the trailer were from a Halloween 'sprinkles' set and the leaves were little Christmas tree sprinkles.

The design of this hedgehog cake was one we used when our two boys were young in the 1970s. This one was made for a grandson who has the misfortune to have his birthday on Christmas Eve. His parents usually have a party for him and his friends a month or so earlier, so that it doesn't clash with Christmas parties. That was the party, last year, for which the construction site cake was created, but one has to have a smaller family celebration on the actual birthday and this was the cake for that. We actually had to make another for his mum on her birthday this year. That one had a stripey look with brown and white chocolate buttons.

I am trying to remember what the figures were supposed to represent. I think that they were snowmen or Father Christmases from a set of chocolate moulds for Christmas cake decorations. This was one of the first 'scenic' cakes we made for our grandchildren. I had actually forgotten that I had decorated one as a football match.

This was requested by a grandson who loved going down to see the ducks on our local pond.

Seaford doesn't have cafes and restaurants on its seafront - there are plenty of good ones in town though. Catering for beach goers is small scale and spread out. In addition to this crepe stall, there are a couple of cafe kiosks with outdoor seating, an icecream kiosk in this style, an icecream van, a seafood stall and the sailing club at the western end of the seafront has a cafe and a couple of kiosk snack bars.

Uploaded to add the the Vintage Photos Theme Park - Milkmen or milk women or.......... food deliveries theme - slightly off theme but it seems to be the best I can offer. Although it doesn't seem to be at a station (and it certainly isn't a home delivery) there is a second photo on the platform, with the younger vendor serving an older lady, beside the train.

This photo was uploaded to complement another photo uploaded recently. www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/49663680 The gulls in this photo were flying into the wind and remaining almost stationary. They didn't come down to pick up the food twhile the child was throwing it, as it was still very close to them. They waited until they both walked away.
