In 2022, a special extended bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd – Sunday 5th June, provided an opportunity for communities throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service.
Here at Dairy Diary we thought that as a British institution ourselves, that it was only right that we created an extra special Dairy Diary Platinum Jubilee recipe for the Queen and so we created…
Our sources told us that the Queen was a fan of chocolate so with its crown design, indulgent chocolate cake, platinum glitter and decorated with English rose petals – we thought this was a celebration cake fit for a Queen.

As part of the celebrations many people got involved in a street party or took part in “The Big Lunch”.
The big lunch was an idea launched in 2009 to encourage communities to celebrate their connections and get to know each other a little bit better. In 2022 The Big Lunch brought the Jubilee celebrations into the heart of every community. People were invited to share friendship, food and fun with neighbours as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
If you are looking for ideas of what you could provide for a community celebration then take a look at our suggestions below or browse our website for more ideas.
Strawberry Trifle with Pimms
Every street party needs a trifle and with the addition of Pimms and strawberries, this one is suitably summery!
Almond & Raspberry Celebration Cake
This would make a fabulous centrepiece for your table.
