How wrong is it that Mary Berry’s 90th birthday isn’t a bank holiday?
The ex-Great British Bake-Off judge, who hit the milestone today (24 March) has some pretty on-brand plans for the event.

Here are nine that we’ve tried, tested, and loved; if you get to making any today, make sure you raise a glass to the legend.
