I’m going to let you in on a secret: I am a huge fan of the British Monarchy. Not in a political sense, but certainly from a souvenir/kitsch perspective.
Last year, I threw a wedding-themed dessert party to honor the wedding of HRH Prince William to Catherine Middleton. It was an exhausting endeavor (mostly because I insisted on waking up at 4AM to watch the wedding on live television).
This year, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee–60 years on the throne. I hosted a dinner party, and handed out three Jubilee-themed cookies favors to the guests at the end of the evening.
Cookie-related details after the jump.
