According to royal sources, Kate Middleton is taking the words of Marie Antoinette seriously. She is going into business with her younger brother James, who has been running a baking company since 2007. She will be fulfilling a secret plan to open and up-market cake shop in King’s Road, Chelsea.
Stung by criticism that she doesn’t have a full-time job, she has, apparently, been doing “market research” by frequenting Love Bakery in King’s Road, where she ordered one of every cake.
James developed The Cake Kit Company after quitting Edinburgh University at the end of his first year. Designed partly to encourage children to cook and partly to make the baking of party cakes easier, his company provides everything needed for baking, including a step-by-step guide.
It isn’t clear what Kate’s role will be in the company, but whatever it is, I doubt whether it will be very difficult: it will just be a piece of cake.
