The theme of Tara’s Gallery this week is Food.
Well now that is something close to my heart. But oh dear! Much as I love food, I love it to eat it and very rarely take photographs of it. But of course I have found a few photos of cake. I especially like this if only for its amusement value.

I spotted this Mad Hatter’s Tea Party cake in the window of an Oxford bakery a couple of years ago. Not surprising really as Lewis Carroll (the pen-name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898) was a Mathematics Fellow of Christ Church College, Oxford which is where he wrote the Alice books in the 1860s. He was also a highly accomplished, and highly respected, early portrait photographer whose sitters included Julia Margaret Cameron, Michael Faraday and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Isn’t the cake brilliant?! I love quirky things like this.
So beautiful I don't know how anyone could bear to cut it and eat it! Well spotted 🙂
Now that is a gorgeous looking cake:) But one best admired, rather than eaten I think!
