So cute! Love the pics. Can’t wait for the rest. 

Oh please a long pussy bow tie at a cooking event ... I suspect she just watched and maybe "helped" plate it up

Yup. It reinforces the normal British family image the Cambridges like to show. Less Stepford Wife than Charlotte's christening, too, which is good - more normal. Even if they are lazy and overly privileged they seem to have learned how to use their image nowadays to promote themselves whereas before they were too lazy. See their popularity level despite being incredibly lazy and not much better imo than The Other Couple, just much better optics.

I love Nadiya, I'm glad she's there.

When people care more about the image than their actions speaking for them will come to bite them.

Well it’s not just a ‘cooking event’.  According to KP twitter it’s about 3 different charity visits and a Christmas party for charity workers/volunteers.

I looks like it's going to be a very lovely special.  I just wish that they would consistently display the same level of dedication to their "regular" stuff as they have to the one offs they've done this year...Catherine's gardens and this special.  Drop by drop, they are improving, but this sort of thing shows what they're capable of day in and day out...they just need to be doing more consistent day in day out and less special one off.

[periwinkle]

Nadiya is also wearing a pussy bow blouse. This is a fun and lovely involvement. I see them totally committed to their roles now including these fluff pieces which aren't really fluff because this is the kind of thing we all need to see in difficult political times. It's the holidays and dessert is something to celebrate and have fun with. Extract joy where and when you can is a good message and it is good for these two to hitch themselves to this message.

[Kristallinchen]

Argh! Argh! Nadiya is on it too! Yes! Argh!

So....are they white Yule logs?  Or, if they are home made Vienetta rolls (the epitome of elegance in the Beaverhausen household - we ate it pinkies up!), I will join you in jumpy claps.

I don't think Yule Logs precisely - no one, not even Naydia or Mary Berry has done any sort of log looking decoration. I'm thinking Swiss Roll.

AB we loved Vienetta's. Wish they were still around.

Love Kate's dress, very Christmasy.

Will and Kate are doing better and better

P.S. Now, I'm hungry. I think I'll get some cookies.

I wonder how much have they done with these patronages recently? Visits, I mean. Not much? I am glad they are doing more like this and showing more of themselves as people and less the Perfect Stepford Family, but I'd like to see more work, too. You can do both!

PS Kate's hair hanging there with all the baked goods irks me.

Good point.  If ever there was a time for a daytime updo, working with food would be it.

I think it's smart fluff - you have a Christmassy cooking show with royal glitz, but you also have primetime exposure for 3 royal patronages.

[Ellie]

Let's hope all the exposure gives the charities well needed funds! Also that they visit them more publicly as well to tie-in with the show. They really need the help, I'm sure.

Mary Berry could easily drop a hair as well, just saying.

For William, on the other hand, it would be quite a challenge.
