The 80th anniversary of VE Day will bring communities together over four days of street parties, afternoon tea dances and picnics which calls for celebratory cakes and bakes!
Bonne Maman can help you roll out the red, white and blue with a range of deliciously fruity recipes that friends and family are sure to love. Adding a sense of occasion to the table, the Lemon and Pistachio Celebration Cake is a light lemon and pistachio sponge, layered alternately with Bonne Maman Raspberry and Wild Blueberry Conserves, luscious whipped cream and then topped with fresh fruits.
Easy to make and transport, these pretty Picnic Dessert Jars are packed with fresh fruit, drizzled with a Strawberry Conserve and elderflower sauce and topped with a layer of creamy cheesecake – finished with a buttery shortbread biscuit. Bonne Maman's yummy Party-Traybake is loaded with juicy morello cherries and classic Damson Plum Conserve.
Sprinkled with delicious fruits and nuts, this delectable cake can be sliced and shared easily with friends, old and new. No tea party would be complete without biscuits and Bonne Maman's Vanilla Shortbreads are not only light and delicious, but easy to make.
To save time, prepare shortbreads a couple of days before and decorate with Bonne Maman smooth or crunchy Hazelnut Chocolate Spread or a range of colourful Conserves on the morning of the big day!
