Ok Ladies and Gents, what is that thing in Felicity's treats set? The tall conical thing? Is it pastery with powdered sugar? Like doughnuts? Details, please.

And what do you think is in the parfait glasses? Jello? How did they get gelatin to set?

I bought this item as I'm going to set up a tea scene for my Felicity and Elizabeth and when I took it out of the box I thought - what the heck is this thing?! Very pretty, but very mysterious!

And in real life, how tall would it have been? About a foot tall? It is monstrous when you consider the scale. About as long as the girls' torsos. And Felicity, Elizabeth, and Mrs. Manderlay (sp) are going to eat this thing all by themselves? LOL! Not too dainty!

Playthings has the description under Felicity, all her outfits and accessories. It says the triangular piece is actually supposed to be a tower of cakes, surrounded with a ring of fruit and tarts. The glasses contain pretend flummery, which supposedly was Felicity's favorite. It was an oatmeal based type of sweet, soft pudding, which was popular back in the day.
