This McVitie's Coronation cake has been created, baked and decorated with the special occasion in mind to commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The cake signals the Carolean age and draws inspiration from the ethos of the Prince's Foundation: Respecting the Past, Building the Future. Each tier of the cake is inspired by a particular aspect of the regalia for the historic coronation and took five-months to create from the planning process through to the final decoration.
UK and Ireland Managing Director David Murray spoke on the McVitie's Coronation cake, "On behalf of the pladis family, it is an honour for us to present this uniquely crafted cake to celebrate Their Majesties’ Coronation. As a Royal Warrant holder, this culinary contribution to the Coronation builds on a long history proudly serving the British Royal Family."
