Wonder what those columns would have been made of...porcelain? Cause I'm pretty sure they hadn't invented plastic yet :D

Cheers,

I think the columns were made of some kind of plaster. I seem to remember a kind of chalky feel to them  ???

A fabulous cake and restores :)    The hours of workmanship of icing it,  that must have  gone into it :)

I wonder if there's still a piece of it around somewhere...it's possible. Soaked in rum or whiskey and packed in powdered sugar, a piece of fruit cake could theoretically last a century...
