48 Pcs Union Jack Coronation Cake Decorations Cupcake Toppers for King Charles III the Third Street Party

Product Information

I mix the cake mix like normal; beat the butter and sugar together, add the eggs and flour and lemon extract and mix, and then split between the cases. To be super neat, I used a piping bag, but you can obviously spoon the mix in as well. A buffet or grazing table is a good make-ahead option that can work whatever the weather and is a great way to celebrate the coronation. Whether you buy in, whip up your own or a combo of both, there are some crowd pleasers that are bound to go down well. For the decoration, you can have some fun. I purposely used the same piping tip but decorated my mini coronation loaf cakes in different ways to give a fun look, but anything works. I find it best to put all of my frosting into a large piping bag and then decorate away. Whichever colour theme you choose, bunting is the quintessential coronation party decoration. It’s great for decorating indoor and outdoor spaces, plus it’s easy enough to make your own from fabric ( watch our no-sew coronation bunting video) or create paper bunting for the big day. Paper chains are also super easy to make when it comes to coronation party ideas and a great way to get kids involved with the prep. For the buttercream, beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy, then gradually beat in the icing sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract, then spread over the top of your cooled cake.

Get ready to dust off your apron and start baking for King and country. It’s time to prepare for the Coronation of King Charles III and plan how you’ll be celebrating. If you'd rather be a bit more individual when it comes to your music choices, put your own playlist together ahead of time. You could ask guests to suggest songs and create your own coronation party playlist. On the day, they could put requests on pieces of paper that they then pop in a hat (or crown!) for the home DJ to play. The baked goods, which will be available in Asda stores and online from 27 April to 18 May, include: The coronation takes place on Saturday 6 th May 2023 with celebrations expected to last until Monday 8 th May, an additional bank holiday in the UK for the occasion. Sainsbury’s said 71% of shoppers are planning to gather with family and friends to celebrate the coronation, with afternoon tea coming out on top of the list of activities by those surveyed. To help with the celebrations, Sainsbury’s has unveiled a ‘right royal range’ of bakery items.Whether you’ll be hosting a regal gathering for your loved ones or organizing a community-wide extravaganza, we have everything you need to toast the occasionin style. Remember, nothing gives a royal welcome like a slice of fresh sponge cake and a cup of tea – or a glass of prosecco, if you’re so inclined! I tend to use slightly more cake mix per portion compared to a cupcake, as I find they are slightly bigger than a cupcake. I use these mini loaf casesand they are just perfect. From balloons to pompoms, table confetti and napkins, there are plenty of easy and inexpensive ways to give a colourful nod to the coronation theme. Strawberries made the main cross of the flag, with the raspberries doing the other part. I then used blueberries to fill in the rest of the flag on top of the cream – and look at how pretty it its! Like my coronation cake though, you can use whipped cream if you prefer, but I wanted to make a slightly different recipe this time. You can of course make the frosting whatever flavour you prefer – vanilla, orange, almond, chocolate, etc.

Sugar – I used caster sugar as I wanted the colour and flavour to stay light, but you an swap it to light brown soft sugar if you want a more caramel flavour naturally. For the frosting, to fit the lemon theme a bit more, I did a lemon buttercream frosting. I love a light lemon buttercream, and when you make a super whipped buttercream frosting it is glorious. If you wanted a chocolate based cake, use my chocolate school cake as a base sponge. Or you can even jazz it up slightly and use my gin & tonic traybake– or even my chocolate orange traybake cake. For other decoration, I used fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries and then a little sprinkling of freeze dried raspberries as well because they always make the best decoration.
