The Queen’s 90th Birthday Cake

After finding out that Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain had been tasked with baking a birthday cake for the Queen’s 90th birthday this week, we were very excited to see what the cake would look like.

As you can see, Nadiya chose quite a simple but sleek design with a purple and gold colour scheme.

The cake was decorated in golden icing, as well as graduated stripes of purple icing for the middle tier and a royal purple on the bottom tier.

The cake was also adorned with a golden flower decoration that added a sophisticated feel to the cake – perfect for the Queen.

Nadiya decided to do something a little bit different when it came to flavour, and opted for an orange drizzle cake, with orange curd and orange butter cream.

If you fancy creating a striped birthday cake similar to the Queen’s, our sugarpaste would be great for this!

Our ready to roll sugarpaste comes in a variety of natural colours and are perfect for decorating cakes, biscuits or any other baking creations.
