The coronation of King Charles III is fast approaching and you might be contemplating what to bring to your local street party.
Why not dazzle your neighbours with a themed sweet treat?
Here are some of our favourites that are well worth a try:
The Coronation Cake
This delicious cake brings the best of both worlds, a classic Victoria sponge and fresh fruit.
The Victoria sponge is a simple cake to bake, so even if you are not an avid baker, dust off your apron and give it a go.
The decoration gives the classic cake a royal twist, as you can ice and then decorate it with strawberries and blueberries to create a British flag.
Regal Trifle
Trifle is an old British favourite, and with a few modifications, it can become a regal treat fit for your coronation celebrations.
Begin with a layer of sponge cake soaked in sherry or Madeira wine, followed by layers of fruit, custard, and whipped cream.
Top with edible gold and silver balls, and serve in a beautiful crystal trifle dish.
Royal Biscuits
Even if you aren’t planning a big get-together, why not sit back and watch the coronation with a cup of tea and some biscuits?
You can pick your flavour of choice; we love a classic vanilla flavour topped with royal icing sugar and decorated for the occasion.
Some suitable decorations would be crowns, flags, or even the royal emblem.
