Baker creates a range of remarkable mince pies featuring the faces of the Royal Family. Can you guess which of their royal cakes is which?
Her tasty royals went viral after appearing in the Daily Mail earlier this year – and even earned her a royal seal of approval.
But for a Christmas treat, Jackie Marshall has gone one step further and transformed the extended royal family into a range of very special mince pies.
King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and even the estranged Duke and Duchess of Sussex have all been reunited – finally – at Mrs Marshall’s kitchen table in Swaffham, Norfolk.
Last week she spent three days baking and decorating the striking shortcrust pastry creations.
Mrs Marshall admitted: ‘I really wanted to make them proud. But I’m not quite sure!’

For Harry’s look-alike cake, she created his red hair and beard using strands of ‘sour’ strawberry candies.
While Meghan’s has hair made from an unraveled licorice Catherine wheel and earrings made from Smarties.
“I had high hopes for Queen Camilla and really hoped she would turn out nice,” Ms Marshall, 65, added. “So I decorated her with crushed meringues.”
Meanwhile, the king had his hair made from rice flakes.
“Out of all of them, I think he turned out the best,” she added. “It was actually the easiest to do.”
Catherine was considered particularly provocative because of her beauty, while Prince William’s pastry recreation may be more similar to that of his uncle, Prince Edward.
Shortly after the Mail’s photographer wrapped up his photo shoot, he and Mrs Marshall enjoyed the Princess of Wales – with a generous helping of clotted cream.
The rest of the royals will go into the freezer and be brought out at Christmas for her family to enjoy.

Her past creations were noticed by Queen Camilla, who was particularly impressed by the cake’s resemblance to her husband
Mrs Marshall’s pastries became famous in the summer after she competed in a King Charles cake at the Sandringham Flower Show.
The regal bake was noticed by Queen Camilla, who was particularly impressed by the cake’s resemblance to her husband.
Fortunately, Charles did indeed see the funny side, chuckling and joking, “It looks like something out of Wallace and Gromit!”
The Mail captured the moment on video and the clip went viral, with the story landing in publications as far away as Adelaide, Australia and Germany.
Ms Marshall – a lifelong Daily Mail and now Mail+ Editions reader – has been inundated with requests for interviews and has even won an award for putting Norfolk on the map.
She said: ‘I just couldn’t believe how it took off after the Mail published it. My 16-year-old granddaughter even called me excitedly to say I was now ‘TikTok famous’.
‘I had no idea what was going to happen so I didn’t feel pressured at the time – but now everyone expects it and I had to make six!’
