Hey, UK bakers, is there a traditional cake that is served on the feastday of St. Charles I? The feastday is this coming Saturday, so I was thinking of making a cake for that. I know there is a traditional cake or pastry for a lot of other saints, but those are all Catholic saints.

TIA!

Hmmm. I guess not.

Maybe I'll create something.

Hmmmm....now to research 17th century baking....

I am not sure of any perticular cake. I am to far north to do anything as it predominantly celebrated in White hall in London.
Good luck with your 16th century baking, here is a snippet from a 16th and 17th cookery book.
