CORONATION CAKES
What colours will be used on cakes" for the Coronation celebration? Secret experiments are taking place in bakehouses all over Britain in an effort to answer this question. And hundreds of answers wftre seen - in tempting form when .the Confectioners' and Bakers' Exhibition opened on September 5 at the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington.. .Women are Britain's great cake buyers and women's fancy is well known to be difficult to please. Hence the bakers' anxiety about the Coronation cakes. "It- is ,a terrible worry," a baker said, "and- all the bakers in the, country .are trying to produce something ,good both to eat and to look at." The British . Colour Council's blues and reds are being tried out on sweets, and cakes. Sugar crowns in lovely colours and stuffed with cream were seen at the exhibition, cakes like miniature Union Jacks with marzipan stripes, cakes like new halfcrowns, with the.King's head embossed on them,- and many more dainties that will-look too good to eat. ■ .
