A Dairy Diary cake fit for a Queen! And Jubilee bakes perfect for a street party celebration!

I look after communications and marketing at Dairy Diary. I’m a busy mum and love home baking and cooking for my family. In my spare time I enjoy visiting the theatre, eating out with friends and exploring the great outdoors!

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…

The Chocolate, Strawberry and Rose Marble Crown Cake

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.
