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.”
