The first of two amateur educational film produced by Ron Padgett in which a woman provides instruction on how to decorate various types of cakes. Title: Good Enough to Eat A pair of women’s hands flick through a cookbook of various cake recipes. She closes the book and speaks to camera. The woman places a sponge cake onto icing turntable and uses a sharp knife cuts it in half through the middle. She removes the top-half before and uses a metal spatula to apply chocolate icing to the top of the bottom-half of the cake. She uses the turntable to make sure the icing is evenly spread. After making sure the top-half of the cake still fits on to the bottom the woman places the top-half onto a round drum cake board and then onto the turntable where she begins to apply icing. She scrapes the spatula across the icing to make an even coat before beginning to apply the icing around the sides of the cake. She uses a plastic scarper to make sure once again the icing is even. She picks up the top-half of the cake and begins to sprinkle shredded coconut both across the top as well as around the sides. Placing this part of the cake back on the turntable she begins to add small decorations and uses a pipette to add decorative icing creating a chocolate pattern across the top of the cake. Blobs of icing are placed around the edges and additional icing decorations added. The cake is now complete. The woman speaks to the camera again changing to a second woman wearing a white coat mixing icing in a bowl. She dips two small rectangular cakes in the icing placing them onto a wire cake rack. She the pours pink icing onto a round sponge cake sitting on a turntable and uses a spatula to evenly spread the icing across the top and around the sides. Again, a plastic scraper is used to even the icing around the sides and more decorations added. White icing is poured over a triangular shaped cake standing on a turntable and a scraper and spatula to even the icing out. An iced round cake sits on a turntable. A woman is using a whisk to spread egg whites onto one side of a marzipan decoration. She places the icing around the base of the cake before adding more decorations to the top forming the image of coloured balloons. The dipped iced cakes seen earlier sit on a cake rack alongside two others, the woman places holly decorations made from icing onto them. All the cakes featured in this film sit next to each other on a table. End title: The end
