I must share with you, dear readers, an amazing letter I’ve received in the post this morning.
My excitement rose when I saw the postmark bearing the words Buckingham Palace. It turns out to be a handwritten letter from none other than the Queen Consort, probably still better known to most as Camilla (of Parker-Bowles fame). It goes like this:
Hi Kevin,
Hope you’re keeping well, mate. As you’re probably aware, we have a bit of a do coming up next month, with the Coronation. There’s lots still to organise, including the Afternoon Tea for all the family after the main service – I like to think of it as a bit of a knees-up.
Anyways, the Boss himself has put me in charge of sorting out the nosh. I love following A Different Kitchen, and wondered if I could ask you to bake us a few cakes?
A Dundee Fruit Cake would go down well with the Balmoral set, and you can’t go wrong with choco brownies as far as all the kids are concerned lol. Numbers aren’t final yet – we still don’t know if Harry and the missus will be attending.
Let me know what you can do for us. Keep up the good work, and why not post a few more tracks from the Arctic Monkeys – I’m a big fan.
Cheers,
Camilla
Goodness me! I need your help here, readers. This is my biggest gig since I started the blog, so do please let me have your thoughts by way of comments below, on what I should offer to bake.
In the meantime, here’s a classic track from The Who for the ADK Playlist – Won’t Get Fooled Again.

I have actually just baked a Dundee cake for our Austrian visitors at Easter- a taste of Scotland. It was a bit of a faff to be honest and the kitchen was like a bombsite afterwards last night. You have to wait two days to slice it, so don’t know if it’s a success yet. Anyway, if you want I can pass on the recipe for the royal knees up. Good luck with the coronation catering gig!
