How wonderful that the Queen is celebrating her 90th year! Her first birthday was on the 21st of April and was marked with a great many celebrations- with many more to come in June to celebrate her official birthday.
Regular readers will know that I have a real passion for baking and in particular, cake!
Nothing beats an afternoon cuppa and slice of cake and this delicious Mont Blanc Coconut Cake by Vanessa Bolosier is EVERYTHING.
Within the gorgeous gift bag I left with after the wonderful dinner with Antonio Carluccio himself a few weeks ago, were the ingredients to recreate his exquisite pappardelle al funghi-so I gave it a whirl at home.
I hope you love it as much as we do!
