Iced Gems Set of 5 Recycled Felt Food Sculptures

Description

The little favourite of British children's parties for over 150 years ;)

In 1850 a biscuit company, Huntley and Palmer, tried out new biscuit technology but found that there new biscuits came out shrunken and tiny. Thomas Huntley liked the little biscuits and called them Gems. The public love the new little biscuits and they are a sensation!

In 1910 little mountains of coloured icing are added to the Gems and Iced Gems were born. They are now made in Liverpool.

Iced Gems were the first mini biscuit to be sold in bags...an idea that has now spread throughout the industry.

Iced Gems have five colours, white, yellow, orange, pink and purple. The little points of icing have different fruity flavours.

As a child I used to bite off the biscuit bases first and saved the little icing mountains to eat last...but, as you know, I was an odd one!

Designed completely by me.

Made from felt and stuffed with polyfil. Completely hand sewn and stuffed.

This listing is for 5 iced gems: 1 pink, 1 purple, 1 orange, 1 white and 1 yellow.

Please note that as each biscuit is hand cut and sewn, the icing and base embroidery may very slightly in each piece.

If you would like one iced gem, a larger set or a set in other colours to match your scheme or theme please convo me for a quote.
