It’s Princess Estelle’s sixth birthday, and to celebrate, the Swedish monarchy shared a picture of the little royal, grinning ear to ear, with a pink frosted cake. It was filled with raspberry yogurt mousse, vanilla cream, and raspberries. And, lest you think the cake was just for show, think again: Another portrait saw Estelle eating a slice with her brother, Prince Oscar.
Even as a toddler, it seems Estelle had refined taste—no Funfetti or rainbow sprinkles on her cake. But while this princess opts for a fruity confection, what about other royals throughout history?
It’s said that Queen Elizabeth’s favorite cake is a chocolate biscuit cake, which seems like a likely candidate for her private birthday celebrations in April (Prince William, too, enjoys this cake and had it at his 2011 wedding). But publicly, the queen often receives fantastical creations. Take her 90th birthday cake, baked by The Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, who presented the queen with a three-tiered, orange drizzle birthday cake with orange curd and orange buttercream, decorated in three shades of purple and gold.
Prince Harry is allegedly a huge fan of anything with bananas—which is why royal watchers are betting his wedding cake will include the tropical fruit—but in 2009, then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy skipped the fancy dessert for a cheeky one instead. She gave him a “miniature birthday cake with Harry’s picture on ice and the words Cool Prince written on it,” reported CBS News.
Another birthday practical joker? Princess Diana. Former royal chef Darren McGrady told Hello! magazine that for Prince William’s 13th birthday, his mother got him, um, a cake equally appropriate and embarrassing for a teenager.
There’s no word on Prince George’s favorite flavor—but when he does eat cake, he does so with impeccable manners (and a glass of fruit juice). According to People, Kate Middleton and George were spotted at a café in Norfolk, where Middleton let her son do the ordering. “Ask the nice lady what you would like to have,” Kate reportedly said. George responded, “Excuse me nice lady, but can I have . . . ” and pointed to a cake on the counter.
And while Estelle may have opted for a pink cake, previous Swedish princesses loved a traditional “green cake” so much that it was allegedly renamed “Princess cake” in the country. Oftentimes, on a royal birthday, Swedes will celebrate with this traditional sponge dessert.
