I think we've settled on this tile design, known as "Longden", attributed to Philip Webb, c. 1870, from Morris Marshall Faulkner & Co. The original 4-up tile was 6" square. We are going to make the individual quarters into 3" tiles. We're doing a smaller cake this year, as we think this event will be a bit more intimate. A 15" cake on a 19" square board. 5 tiles across by 5 equals 25 tiles plus 20 more for the sides (which measure 3" tall).

Love it ~ can't wait to see the cake!
Your '08 creation is going to be gorgeous!
This is totally unrelated, but saw this article this morning and thought you might like to take a peek:

This is a REALLY late comment but I just had to tell you - I have this exact pattern in blue in my bathroom!! I searched on-line to find a tile I liked and then special ordered it from California (extra shipping because they're heavy and I'm on the east coast). They only had 4 left but I have them on a field of white tiles and they are beautiful if I do say so myself. Makes my bath just that much more wonderful.
Once again - I really love your cakes!
Thanks,
Judie
