CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

Just in time to catch a week of British sunshine, Chelsea Flower Show is taking place this week. If, like us, you prefer to exercise your green fingers in the kitchen, why not celebrate with a horticultural themed bake? Our recipe for decorative sugarpaste flowers is ideal for any type of summery cake. For floral flavours, why not try this showstopping white chocolate, raspberry and rose layer cake or a lemon elderflower drizzle? Go all-out with a cupcake bouquet or treat guests to a delicate flowery dessert like this chiffon pavlova with edible rose petals.

With live entertainment from flamenco dancers, sherry tastings, Iberian ham carving demonstrations, a generous selection of delicious tapas and an array of children’s activities, head to this lively event with the whole family to make the most of the bank holiday sunshine.
