Description: | This is a recipe card for an Easy polka-dot Jubilee cake'. It was given away for free by Waitrose supermarket during the celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in June 2012. On the front is a photograph of a large sponge cake iced in white with red and blue icing polka dots. It is pictured on a cake stand, on a table laid for tea with a table cloth, cake plates and tea pot. There is bunting in the background. The text reads Perfect for Jubilee celebrations / With ready-to-roll icing'. There is a logo for the Dr. Oetker brand of baking ingredients. On the reverse is a list of the ingredients required and the recipe, set out in numbered stages. There are photographs of Dr. Oetker products and information on preparation and cooking time and the nutritional values of the finished cake. The Jubilee celebrations took place during a wider trend for baking. Sales of baking equipment increased significantly during 2011 and television programmes featuring baking were popular. Waitrose is part of the John Lewis group and is at the higher end of supermarket trading in terms of price and quality. It targets affluent customers. | Source: | Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.socialhistory.198414 | Go to resource |
