Competition: Your chance to create a dessert fit for a Queen
Carmelli Bakery is ready to bake a Jubilee dessert suggested by Jewish News readers
Next month we’ll be celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the festival of Shavuot. To mark this delicious double whammy, the Jewish News and United Synagogue are launching a competition today to get your ideas for a new delectable dessert with a royal twist to be made by Carmelli Bakery in Golders Green.
The winning dessert will be sold at Carmelli ahead of Shavuot and whoever comes up with it will win a whole box! Enter now by going to www.theus.org.uk/dessert. Entries close on Monday 23 May. Good luck!
As it’s Shavuout, you might like to suggest a patriotically-decorated cheesecake. Or, as the apple is Britain’s national fruit, it would be fitting to go with a cake using Royal Gala apples. Steven Wilson, United Synagogue’s Chief Executive, says: “Whether it’s a Union Flap Jack, an Elizabeth Sponge Cake or another British classic – the choice is yours! We’re after brilliant new ideas to create a dessert fit for the Queen – and who knows, perhaps your dessert will become as well-known and as much-loved as the Victoria Sponge. I can’t wait to taste the winning idea later this month.”
Justin Cohen, deputy editor of the Jewish News, is excited about the prospect of a new product on the shelves at Carmelli. “I love cake!” he says

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
