There is no cake more regal. It was originally made for Queen Victoria, during whose incredible 63-year reign the tradition of afternoon tea began to evolve. And during the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the tradition of afternoon tea is ever more popular. Queen Victoria would have had her cake with raspberry jam and topped with a sprinkling of granulated sugar. I have filled this one with strawberry jam and topped it with berries and a few fresh rose petals, then added some celebratory mini bunting.
