Product Information

However you're celebrating King Charles' coronation, make sure you inject a bit of crafty joy into it with one of these gifts – or give the make to a friend who's particularly excited about our new king. You can obviously use a buttercream instead if you want – but I would avoid an icing like on the school cake as that may cause the fruit to run off slightly. A standard buttercream would be 175g unsalted butter mixed with 350g icing sugar. You may want to go all out and host a screening party on the day itself when the ceremony is on TV. Alternatively, you could hold a coronation party or street party on another day of the long weekend.

I would recommend using fresh fruit for this cake as frozen berries will not look as nice and will thaw/leak in a weird way onto the cream. If you are worried, decorate the cake somewhat last minute before serving, but it does last a couple of days in the fridge.

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.

Last time I posted my coronation cake which is light, fruity and a traybake – and I adore it. However, I thought I would post a more bite size cake that would be cute for a table spread, and easier to serve! These mini lemon loaf cakes are ideal. 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 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.

Create professional looking decorations with just some folded coloured paper and twine. These paper fan decorations are the perfect craft project to make ahead of the coronation celebrations. Make big ones, small ones, layered ones or mini ones! This cake is best served fresh on the day because of the fruit and cream, but can last 1-2 days in the fridge if needed!

We all know and love cupcakes, and loaf cakes, but why not combine the both?! There is something special that I adore about mini loaf cakes, and I just want to keep on baking them over and over.
