Britain Loves Baking celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Purpose-driven baking box company Britain Loves Baking has launched its platinum jubilee baking box & kits collection, along with its street party baking kit that will bring communities together in celebration of the once-in-a-lifetime event.
The ingredients have been sourced in the UK and Commonwealth and include items such as Platinum sliver leaf from Canada, vanilla extract from Uganda and farm-grown yeast from Australia.
Inspired by the Queen’s love of Afternoon Tea, Britain Loves Baking has created the Platinum Jubilee Afternoon Tea Big Bake (5 June), which can be ordered for up to 1,000 people at a cost of just £7 per person.
“Nothing brings a community together more so than when a special Royal Jubilee is celebrated, and which brings friends and neighbours closer together during the festivities,” said Greg Wixted, founder of Britain Loves Baking.
“The Afternoon Tea Platinum Jubilee baking box has been created for bakers of all skills to join in and create amazing baked treats to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s historic 70-year reign.”
The baking box comes complete with a full baking schedule and event planner, along with all the bits and bobs to make Clarence House Chocolate Biscuit Cake, Mini Victoria Sponges with Strawberry Jam & Buttercream, Union Jack Cupcakes, The Jubilee Cupcakes, Traditional Fruit and Plain Scones & Jam, Union Jack Shortbreads and bread mix to create mini bread rolls for finger sandwiches.
There is also the Jubilee Macaron Baking Kit (£36) to prepare 45-50 macarons, always served at the Queen’s annual garden parties. Flavours include Lemon Posset Macaron, Summer Pudding and the Jubilee Macron (a blackberry shell, filled with Ugandan vanilla bean, white chocolate and blackberry ganache and topped with flecks of edible platinum sliver leaf.
The UK company has also thought of chocolate lovers, with three British dessert-inspired chocolate bar making kits (Eton Mess, Summer Pudding and Tropical Fruit Salad) to make 2x, 4x or 6x150g white chocolate bars.
Not finished yet – the No-Cook Jubilee Fudge Making Kit (in White Chocolate or Vanilla & Blackberry) is ideal to get the kids involved. (£16)
The hero of the collections is the Berry Mirror Glaze & Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake, complete with its own platinum-coloured crown. This is a real showstopper (£30).
As with all Britian Loves Baking Products, everything is provided (bar fresh eggs or fruit), including cake board, piping bags and nozzles. Ingredients are pre-measured, meaning there’s no waste, hassle or hidden costs for ‘extra’ ingredients.
Available online and on partner websites such as Yumbles.com.
