Like a royal version of the Great British Baking Show, the Platinum Pudding Competition pits bakers around the country against each other in a contest to create a dessert fit for the queen—and enter into a long line of dishes designed to celebrate the monarchy.
Run by Fortnum & Mason, the upscale department store known for its focus on refined luxury foods, the contest gave anyone (over the age of eight) in Britain the opportunity to submit a recipe to celebrate and be served at the Platinum Jubilee events celebrating the Queen’s 70th year on the throne. Judges include OG GBBO judge Mary Berry, Fortnum & Mason’s own head chef, and the chef from Buckingham Palace, among others. The requirements include that it has a memorable story, be simple enough for home bakers, and taste “just right.”
