Royal Wedding Cake Makers Create Bespoke Coronation Cake



CORONATION CAKE IS ROYAL WARRANT HOLDER’S CROWNING GLORY
Bespoke Coronation Cake Created for the Coronation Festival

The UK’s leading manufacturer of baking ingredients, Renshaw, has worked in collaboration with the team behind the Royal Wedding cake to create a bespoke Coronation cake in celebration of the 60th anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation.

As a Royal Warrant Holder for its almond products, Renshaw is one of over 200 companies taking part in the Coronation Festival at Buckingham Palace this July. Created in partnership with Fiona Cairns Ltd, the four tier Coronation Cake will go on display at the grounds of Buckingham Palace during the three day celebration event taking place 11th – 14th July.

The Fiona Cairns bakery, which was responsible for the cake designed and produced for the wedding of Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge in 2011, have created this special cake.  Designed in the classic British style associated with the brand, the Renshaw Coronation Cake features the flowers of the four nations; English rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh daffodil and the Irish shamrock.

With a variety of decorative elements, the crowning glory of the creation is a replica of the Sovereign’s Orb, which The Queen held at her Coronation in 1953 to represent the Monarch’s role as Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

Taking three days to make, with every detail completely created with Renshaw sugarpaste and marzipan and piped by hand, the Coronation Cake features elements of the Coronation Coach and the abstracted Fleur de Lys inspirations from the crown.  

Renshaw was granted its first Royal Warrant for its almond products by King George VI in 1950, followed by The Queen in 1955. Group Finance Director, Mike McDonough, who currently holds the Royal Warrant on behalf of Renshaw, said of the Coronation Cake:

“Renshaw has been providing products to the Royal Household for over sixty years and we’re delighted to be a part the prestigious Coronation Festival event. Working in collaboration with the Fiona Cairns Bakery brings together two brands with royal heritage to produce a cake fitting of the occasion, which all visitors will be able to see at this summer’s event.”

Fiona Cairns Ltd Design Director, Rachel Eardley, said of the commission: “We are delighted to have designed a bespoke cake in association with Renshaw, especially for the Coronation Festival.

There are many icons associated with the Coronation but we have chosen to create a tiered cake that reflects our style and skills as well as complementing the occasion.”

An exciting and unique event, The Coronation Festival will bring together over 200 companies who hold Royal Warrants of Appointment. Promoting the very best of UK plc, the Festival aims to celebrate innovation, excellence and industry through trade and craft.

Royal Warrants are a mark of recognition to individuals or companies who have supplied goods or services for at least five years to the Households of The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh or The Prince of Wales and are regarded as hallmarks of quality, excellence and service.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes.

To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that.
