Product Snapshot: Just in time for the Royal Wedding, Harry & David has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with The Royal Touch to create a new collection of gourmet baked goods from Carolyn Robb, former personal chef to the British Royal Family. Through the agreement, consumers across the United States can get a taste of the same sweet and savory cakes, desserts and breads that Carolyn served to the Royal Family for 11 years – all from the comfort of their own home!  

After spending more than a decade cooking in extraordinary palaces and castles around the globe, Carolyn has shared her culinary expertise exclusively with Harry & David to create this never-before-available assortment of extravagant delicacies—many of which were Royal Family favorites.

Three of the products launched in May 2018, including the Chocolate Biscuit Cake Prince William selected for his Groom’s Cake, with an additional four becoming available in early June.
