Middle one looks like a gateau server( probably part of set with large triangular shaped cake knife). Would have been used to push sticky slice of onto plate.

I'm sure a more knowledgable person will be along with correct answer.LOL :) :) :)

Ah quite possible. but would that be likely if the fork and spoon are like ones you give a baby? (sorry forgot to mention that they are only little ones - spoon is teaspoon size  :-[)

If it's only small, then it could be a sugar or a jam spoon.  if they are bent on the end, then a sugar spoon  may have had it's own little pot.  They tend to be rounder a bit like a soup spoon.

I agree it's definitely called a food pusher for feeding infants - the sets were given as birth/christening presents in the good old days
