Today is the first National Cream Tea Day, created by the Cream Tea Society and supported by Frances Quinn from the Great British Bakeoff.
As part of this day the Yorkshire Building Society will be aiming to break the World Record for the biggest Cream Tea. Make sure to keep an eye out for this and their Cream Tea Ascot Hat!
Why not try our Oyster Sponge recipe – the perfect addition to your afternoon tea!
| It’s #NationalPicnicWeek, what are you waiting for? Grab your jam sandwiches and get down to the park! Picnicking is one of the UK’s most enjoyable summer traditions, and is a great way of taking advantage of sunny days and beautiful open spaces in your area. |
It’s National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day and we’re making Rhubarb & custard flavoured doughnuts! Did you know Jelly (or jam here in the UK) doughnuts come in different varieties? There are German, Australian, British, Israeli, American and Canadian – but the strangest are the Japanese called Anpan which are filled with red bean paste.
