The Peek Freans Cake
This project came about as region 8 members loved working on the Queen’s replica Wedding cake and whilst they were assembled at the museum for a photo, they asked what the next project was. I suggested that we make a fun cake for the museum to include various aspects associated with Peek Freans and the items in the museum. More.
Postcard to the Queen
The Cygnets group at Bognor Regis has been running successfully for many years and I had the good fortune to be offered the leadership role 5 years ago.
What our Branches are doing

Which was originally created by Peak Frean in 1947 for her marriage to
Prince Phillip. More
