The Royal Ballet asked me to design a cake to celebrate their 75th anniversary.

This is the design I came up with.

I decided to create the cake as a large informal party table in the shape of 75, and place figures around the table to represent the four resident choreographers of the last 75 years along with a figure of Princess Aurora from sleeping beauty, one of the first full length ballets staged by the Royal, and re-staged by most of the Directors over the past 75 years. The figures chosen were the The Red King from checkmate, Madame Ninette de Valois' masterpiece, The Tall girl from Sir Kenneth McMillan's Elite Syncopations, David Bintley's fantastic Zebra from the stunning Penguin Cafe ( which along with the Sleeping beauty also incorporates the Birmingham Royal Ballet nicely ) and finally the figure from The fabulous Symphonic Variations , choreographed by Sir Frederick Ashton.
