British Decorate

A country that finishes by hand and tradition. Mary Berry on the bench since the seventies, the Bake Off tent setting the showstopper standard, Fortnum & Mason boxing the fruit cake since 1707, Battenberg laid in the pink-and-yellow checker, royal icing piped at stiff peak, marzipan rolled to the eighth of an inch, the genoise turned out of the tin without a tear — a finishing tent built on tradition, on your marks, and the crank at forty-five degrees.
