Palace staff might not have had dessert that day, but they definitely got a sweet memory they’ll never forget
Royal Kitchen Chaos: Princess Anne’s Salty Cupcake Surprise!
There was a royal stir — quite literally — inside the palace this week when Princess Anne decided to surprise the kitchen staff with a homemade treat. But her sweet gesture took an unexpected (and rather salty) turn!
According to palace insiders, the ever-practical Princess Royal rolled up her sleeves and “snuck” into the royal kitchen early in the morning to bake cupcakes for the hardworking palace team. However, in a moment of culinary confusion, she reportedly grabbed the wrong ingredient — using salt instead of sugar. The result? 200 beautifully iced, royally disastrous cupcakes!
“When we took the first bite, it was… well, unforgettable,” laughed one staff member. “But honestly, it was such a sweet gesture — no one cared about the taste.”
Rather than being flustered by the mishap, Princess Anne is said to have burst into laughter when she realized her mistake. “Think of it as a royal detox!” she quipped, earning chuckles from everyone in the room.
Known for her no-nonsense attitude and down-to-earth humor, Anne reportedly shrugged it off and promised to “stick to riding horses, not mixing batter.” Despite the mix-up, staff say her effort meant more than any perfectly baked cupcake could.
“It was such a classic Princess Anne moment,” another insider said. “She’s hands-on, funny, and genuinely thoughtful. Even when things go wrong, she makes everyone smile.”
The “salty cupcakes” have already become the latest running joke in the palace — and rumor has it, some are being saved as keepsakes of the unforgettable royal baking adventure.
So while the recipe might not make it into The Royal Family Cookbook anytime soon, one thing’s certain: Princess Anne’s good humor — and generous spirit — will always be the secret ingredient in the royal kitchen.
