The British pudding comes in all shapes and sizes and now the #PlatinumPudding competition is here to find a dessert dedicated to Her Majesty The Queen.

Fortnum & Mason has launched the nationwide competition to find a pudding to celebrate The Queen in her Platinum Jubilee year.

The winning pudding will be an important part of the celebrations marking Her Majesty’s 70 years as Monarch. And the creator of the winning pudding will be invited to be at the centre of the celebrations.

Applications are welcomed from UK residents aged 8 and over, and the recipes will be judged by an expert panel including Dame Mary Berry, Monica Galetti and Buckingham Palace Head Chef Mark Flanaghan.

Get cooking, and your creation could be a joyful and delicious part of the first ever Platinum Jubilee.

This competition is open to all residents of the United Kingdom aged 8 and over, except for employees of F&M, members of the Royal Household and Government Offices and its staff or anyone else professionally connected with the competition.
