[5] Nadine Dorries, the United Kingdom Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, said: "The Platinum Pudding Competition is a wonderful way to celebrate Her Majesty's 70 year reign and I know it will inspire people of all ages across the UK to get baking".

[8][9][10] British residents aged 8 and over were eligible for the competition, along with all individuals, families, school classes, community groups, companies and other entities.

[2] The winner was announced on 12 May in the BBC One documentary The Jubilee Pudding: 70 Years in the Baking, which also saw the Duchess of Cornwall in attendance.

[2][13][14] The winning recipe was a lemon Swiss roll and amaretti trifle created by Jemma Melvin.

Melvin points out that the lemon curd, jelly, Amaretti biscuits and custard can be bought ready-made, while the Swiss roll and mandarin coulis should be made from scratch.
