Peek Frean’s also made the wedding cake for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip in 1947 which reached nearly two meters or six feet in height complete with the crowning glory of a metal Knight. I cannot imagine anything more British than sitting with your feet up on the sofa, watching slushy soap operas with a steaming mug of tea and a biscuit or three and these traditional Bourbon biscuits fit the bill perfectly, the only decision that has to be made is whether to dunk or not to dunk….īourbon biscuits (or Bourbon creams) originated in Bermondsey, London in 1910 and were called Creola biscuits by their manufacturer Peek Frean’s & CO of London who also introduced that other British institution the Garibaldi biscuit (or Dead/squashed Fly biscuits as they were affectionately known).
