Our Favourite Cakes To Make For The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee is just days away, and there's only one thing on our minds — what on earth are we going to bring along to the local street party asides from paper crowns and camping chairs? Well, if it's your job to muster up a pudding fit for royalty, then we've got just the thing... a Platinum Jubilee cake!

No, we're not talking basic cakes embellished with the Queen's face, or the Union Jack (although, we'd never say no to a slice or two that features Her Majesty), we're talking about show stopping centrepieces that will make your neighbours gasp with excitement, the sort you can make ahead of time and enjoy over the bank holiday weekend.

Need some inspo? Here's 12 of our favourite cakes perfect for celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
