The cake was a hit and now it's eaten. Yay!
First picture shows the original stained glass designed by Burne-Jones and manufactured by Morris and Co. There is more information on this at the site of Tom Krepcio, a stained-glass artist. The window is part of the Delaware Art Museum's magnificent Pre-Raphaelite collection, currently touring (but returning home this September to be re-exhibited there). They have more information about the piece at this URL. On his site, Tom has a link to the iPod blurb on this piece.
On the right you have Laura's recreation in sugar. Isn't it amazingly close, and that's not a good picture of it as my flash washed out some detail. Below that you have the finished cake with the lettering, which we piped in lead colour outline, and flooded with a soft grey-green. The last image is a detail of the sugar glass (remember this thing is entirely edible).
The cake is eaten and we are already getting excited about our ideas for next year, which will all be revealed in good time. Thank you all for your interest!
