Browsing through some old Kids Parties books I came across an old friend,
Yes, gracing the Rocket Cake picture was an old Kenner C3P0, no doubt waiting for an oil bath by Luke!
Like the golden C3P0, I suppose Kenner figures were and are ideal for cake decorating. Have you ever used them on cakes or even received a space-themed cake ?
Also in the same Eighties party book was this chocolate train cake staffed by Fisher Price Little People no less! How I'd like to have those figures as I'm trying to track down some for my Grandson's old Fisher Price aeroplane, which is grounded as it hasn't got a Captain or enough crew!
Have you got any old Fisher Price toys?
What's the best cake you ever got or made?
The best chocolate cake ever was the Chocolate Gâteau at Lyons Corner House during the 1950's. This was the ultimate treat if going to London's West End shopping, and honestly it even beat out going to Hamley's Toy Store the same trip.
ReplyDeleteSounds deelicious Terran. I wonder if its still there, the Lyons Corner House?
DeleteThe Lyons Corner Houses closed in the 70's and one was reopened by new owners in the early 80's. I do not know how good the revival one was or if it still exists. There are thousands of people around the world whose mouths water at the thought of cakes at a Lyons, not just me.
