Stuck on 34a and 31d. Bonus that may include a sweet celebratory message and British climber carries nothing dense. 5/2/3/4 and six letters. I have most of the letters but cannot get the full statements. Also cannot parse 5a: King enters with more formality producing more squeamishness. Any help appreciated.

34a icing on the cake

31d Bovine = dense

B - British
climber - vine
nothing -

5a I have UCKIER but not entirely sure of the parsing

Ickier .. K into icier .. ? I think

That's better. Thanks greenkey

I cannot get anywhere with 40 d ? Soft ????t but it's probably wrong completely as 56 ac is a guess ? Could you help

40 soft fruit (anagram)

56a. flathead (native american)

56a F lathe AD
