Back in 2019, Princess Kate appeared in Mary Berry’s A Berry Royal Christmas, talking about her baking skills and how she makes her children’s birthday cakes from scratch
Like most parents, the Princess of Wales enjoys making a fuss over her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ birthdays.
This month will be more of the same, as the youngest of the Wales family, little Louis, will turn six years old on 23 April. Back in 2019, Princess Kate appeared in Mary Berry’s A Berry Royal Christmas, and the devoted mother talked about her baking skills, telling the audience that she makes her children’s birthday cakes from scratch, which has now become a household tradition. Princess Kate has previously made Louis’ birthday extra special, Hello! magazine reports.
Hello! magazine’s online royal correspondent Danielle Stacey says: “The Princess of Wales’s number one priority has always been her children since becoming a mother and she has been supporting George, Charlotte and Louis through all their major milestones, including George’s first big exams last year.
Danielle went on to say: “We’ve seen the Princess take some incredibly fun and playful portraits of her children over the years and baking their birthday cakes so she’s likely to feel that it’s important to keep those traditions going to maintain a sense of normality.”
Princess Kate is likely to spend the eve of Louis’ birthday in the kitchen. Speaking to Mary Berry she said: “I love making the cake. It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ’til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But, I love it.”
Louis’ birthday is just weeks away, and Princess Charlotte’s birthday takes place on May 2. Prince George’s birthday is on July 22 – so Kate will be busy making cakes for quite a while.
Luckily, her children also share her love of baking and have been known to commemorate special occasions with a delicious homemade treat. In March 2021, William and Kate shared an Instagram picture of a delicious-looking Victoria sponge cake created by George, Charlotte and Louis in celebration of Mother’s Day.
Before the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Kate permitted cameras to see into the family kitchen as she, George, Charlotte and Louis baked cupcakes for a street party. In October 2020, the family-of-five baked homemade sweet treats for residents at a care home nearby to their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. The Mirror contacted Kensington Palace for a comment.
