Lore
Jane’s crown carries the Royal Picnic brief directly into its palette: red, white, and blue arranged around a celebratory meringue structure. The two-handed handshake is part of the verified recognition, but the stronger baking story is the balance between a crisp exterior, a softer centre, and a crown that can be assembled without losing its shape.
Recipe source pending
