EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of pansy making, an exquisite art form in cake decoration that reached its zenith in the 1930s. This series of images from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive offers a rare glimpse into the intricate stages of creating stunning pansy designs on cakes. The process begins with the preparation of the cake batter using the Lambeth method, a popular technique in the early 20th century. Once the cake is baked and cooled, the pastry artist sets to work on the delicate floral designs. The pansies are meticulously handcrafted from sugar paste or marzipan, each petal painstakingly shaped and colored to resemble the real flower. The first stage involves rolling out the sugar paste to an even thickness and cutting out the basic shapes for the pansy petals. These shapes are then carefully pinched and manipulated to create the intricate ruffles and folds that mimic the natural texture of pansy petals. Next, the petals are assembled on a wire frame, which serves as the base for the flower. The petals are arranged in a circular pattern, with the largest petals at the outer edge and the smaller ones in the center. The center of the flower is filled with a small ball of sugar paste or marzipan, which represents the pansy's heart. Finally, the pansies are carefully attached to the cake using edible glue or royal icing. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful cake adorned with lifelike pansy flowers, a true testament to the artistry and skill of the pastry chef. This historical photographic record of pansy making offers a fascinating glimpse into the advanced floral designs that were popular during the 1930s. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship showcase the artistry and dedication of the pastry chefs of the time, who elevated cake decoration to new heights with their stunning creations.
