He's shared the recipe with us.
Sam Colton, a 10-year-old pupil at Beckbury Primary School, enjoys making Victoria Sponge cakes but felt the standard recipe should be updated to recognise both the Queen Elizabeth II's service to the country and her long reign.
His recipe includes the filling, with a nod towards the Queen's televised appearance with Paddington Bear during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations during which she produced a marmalade sandwich from her handbag.Sam's recipe also calls for three tiers of sponge instead of the standard two-tier cake as a mark of respect for the length of time the Queen reigned.
Sam's mother, Jade Colton, a 41-year-old event manager, from Kemberton, near Telford, said:"Sam is a keen baker and his favourite cake is a Victoria Sponge. He was asking me about its origins and I told him about Queen Victoria and he said that there should be an Elizabeth Sponge.
