Morrisons to launch Corgi cake to celebrate Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Morrisons are set to launch a special cake just in time for the Queen's special day.

Many of you may be familiar with cakes such as Colin the Caterpillar from M&S - a sweet treat that's so popular many other retails have followed suit and created their own version.

Well now Morrisons is to release a new addition to the baking family - and it's Corgi themed.

The Corgi cake, enough to serve 12 people, will be released as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations and cost just £6.

The cake is a chocolate-covered swiss roll decorated with red, blue and white sprinkles to celebrate the Queen’s 70th anniversary on the throne. Clarence has a sweet edible face and boots, and is topped with a Union Jack crown.

Though it may not always be served on a red satin pillow

Named Clarence the corgi, the pup will join stores on May 21 as whilst the official date of Her Majesty's Jubilee was marked on February 6, from June 2to the 5th the nation will gather to commemorate her 70 years of service to the country.

According to Hello!, the Queen was given her first corgi named Susan when she was 18 and even took her on her honeymoon with Prince Philip. The Queen also grew up surrounded by corgis as a young girl.

Rachel Fish, Cake Creator at Morrisons, says: "We've created this special cake to pay tribute to the Queen, as the country celebrates her Platinum Jubilee this summer. We had great fun coming up with names for the cake but think Clarence, as chosen by our customers, is a fitting tribute."
