Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her birthday on April 21 and while she had to forgo some traditions due to the coronavirus pandemic, her royal pastry chefs were preparing her a birthday treat.
Read on to find out how you can make cupcakes at home just like the queen’s pastry chefs do.
Queen Elizabeth has a sweet tooth
The royal family matriarch enjoys her sweets, especially chocolate.
“The queen’s a chocoholic,” said Chef Darren McGrady, who worked in Buckingham Palace’s kitchen from 1982 to 1993. “She loves chocolate. Anything on the menu that we used to prepare at the palace that had chocolate in it, she would approve and it would go to the royal table.”
So it makes sense that for her birthday, pastry chefs bake her chocolate cupcakes. And now they’re revealing their special recipe that you too can make at home whether it’s for a birthday or just a treat your family will love.
How to make the chocolate cupcakes fit for a royal
The recipe for the chocolate cupcakes, which will serve 15 people, was shared on the royal’s social media accounts.

-Ensure the batter is smooth with no lumps
-Finally add the chocolate chips (alternatives could be nuts or dried fruit)

– Gently use a teaspoon or small spatula for the icing to decorate the top of the cupcakes
Why the queen’s cupcakes are decorated with ‘EIIR’
When making these cupcakes at home, you can decorate them however you choose but the ones made for the queen are decorated with “EIIR.” Some royal fans have wondered what that actually stands for.
The monarch signs all her official documents “Elizabeth R.” Harper’s Bazaar noted that the “R” following her first name is for “Regina.” If you’re thinking her middle name is “Regina” that’s not the case. “Regina” actually means “queen” in Latin.
