Summary
Pathe synopsis: From the ancient arts to a more modern, but bizarre, one - sculpting in bread - the hobby of baker John Nixey of Bayswater. It has taken Mr Nixey many years of experimenting to find a dough mixture suitable for modelling, and today his edible masterpieces include "Cornfield at Harvest Time", which takes five hours to make, and the "Horn of Plenty", which contains over 200 separate pieces of dough.
