Jubilee Cakes Part Two

Okay, so although most people celebrated the Jubilee yesterday, it's actually the official Jubilee on Tuesday with the parade and such. Therefore this post could still come in useful... if not you can just look at the cakes.

As Rosaline said, we love the Queen and the Jubilee and just everything about this ridiculously long weekend. And what better way to honour the Queens Diamond Jubilee than with cake. My street had a street party, and although I avoided the cupcake competition (it was full of five year olds which was slightly embarrassing) I did make a cake and lots of little cupcakes as our contribution to the food side of things.

I thought I was being very original with my cake design, but it turns out almost everyone had the same idea. However one can never have too much cake, and it was all eaten by the end of the evening which in my view indicates success.

Diamond Jubilee Cake

Jubilee Week End is here!! Woo. We love the Queen; she’s everything that is great about Great Britain and she colour blocks like a pro.

So to celebrate her diamond jubilee we have gone all out. Like, seriously. We are in our sparkly diamond jubilee element. Why don’t they come around more often?!

Some people think we’re a bit weird. But there is nothing wrong with loving cake and the Queen, people. Nothing wrong at all.

So I’ll keep it short because, errm, I meant to be revising for my history A Level, but the Queens Diamond Jubilee only comes around once and when cake has got be baked CAKE HAS GOT TO BE BAKED and, well, you know, its important to get your priorities right.

So here are my two Union Jack Cakes and Royal Garden Party Cake

Let Them Eat Cake! Oh no wrong Queen... But eat cake anyway

Diamond Jubilee Cake



Just cos we heart her. Look at her colour blocking fabulousness. And she's so cute! I want her as my grandma

Recipe to come I promiseeee but, like I say, I’m a busy girl with revision to do and – ok alright, I’m not fooling anyone: I’m off out to celebrate a long week end and I think that it being a Diamond Jubilee Long Week End warrants wearing as much diamonds/sparkles/glitter as possible.

Have fun, I’m crossing my fingers it doesn’t rain, stay sparkly and God save old Queenie!
