Happy Birthday Hampton Court - 500 Today




It's Hampton Court Palace's 500th birthday today! What better way to celebrate than with a five-tiered cake fit for royalty?
Crafted by culinary maestros Choccywoccydoodah, the cake showcases 500 years of the palace's history in five glorious tiers, all smothered in white chocolate!

Henry VIII and his crown are framed by the King's Beasts found in the Chapel Court Garden of Hampton Court Palace.


The arch found in the Cumberland Art Gallery at Hampton Court Palace frames portraits of King George II and Queen Caroline.


Grace and Favour resident and suffragette Sophia Duleep Singh is featured, surrounded by gold stars, gold 500-shaped balloons and a medallion, paying homage to the palace's role in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
