Tiffin
According to the former personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II, tiffin is one of Her Majesty’s ‘favourite afternoon tea cakes by far’. So much so, she has leftovers sent from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle! Tiffin is also a hit with Prince William – he chose it as his groom’s cake when he married Kate in 2011.
