The best trifle bowls to buy in time for King Charles' Coronation
It's time to celebrate our new Monarch
We all dusted off our hand mixers for the Platinum Jubilee last year, baking plenty of sweet treats for the thousands of street parties held to mark our late Queen's historic reign. Britain's official star baker, however, was copywriter Jemma Melvin, who won Fortnum & Mason's Platinum Pudding competition with her lemon and Swiss roll amaretti trifle.
Now, with King Charles's coronation on May 6, we're expecting more celebrations across the country as we welcome our new Monarch to the throne. Naturally, this calls for more desserts!
Last year's competition-winning dish was inspired by the lemon posset served at Queen Elizabeth II's wedding. It was judged by esteemed chefs and foodies, including Masterchef: The Professionals judge Monica Galetti and former Great British Bake Off judge Mary Berry.
So, if you're looking to whip something up in the kitchen this May, you'll need a proper centrepiece dish to serve it up in proudly to guests. Here are 12 of the prettiest, sparkling glass pudding and trifle bowls to buy now and enjoy for years to come.
When the trifle's all gone, this round glass number will double up nicely as a fruit bowl for your dining table.
With its wide, shallow bowl and ornate stem, this decorative bowl will proudly show off your showstopper when it's time to serve.
