Title: Macy's centenary cake, 1957 [Go to resource]
Description: 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.
