'Twelfth Night' is a fun patchwork of a print nodding to the festive parties of the past. In grand homes of the past, on the last day of the festive season each year, a large decorated cake, known as twelfth cake would be made for the Feast of Epiphany. Inside the cake would be hidden two tokens, a dried pea on one half, a dried bean in the other. Traditionally made at a time of magnificent balls; on entering the party each guest and member of staff would be given a slice of cake to see how their fortune fared. If you found the bean you would be declared King for the evening, and the pea, the Queen. As monarch of the night you would be rulers of the revels and everyone myst do as you say until the clock struck midnight, which would see a return to class ordered put an end to the year's festivities.
Featuring part of a poem by Richard Herrick, a giant pink cake inspired by the reproductions produced by Ivan day, characters inspired by Park's twelfth night characters, and a King and Queen drawn from old gingerbread moulds.
