I remember the days when children’s parties used to put on a spread; crisps, sweets and chocolate galore. Really, that’s the origin of ‘girl dinner ’ or ‘British tapas’. Tables laden with Choc Gem, Cadbury Animals, Jaffa Cakes, and more.
However, nothing says party like a Party Ring. Or even better, a Giant Party Ring. Mindlessly scrolling through TikTok landed me on home baker Paige, known as Paige Baked That, who supersizes all Britain’s most loved treats.
Earlier in the month she recreated a gargantuan version of a Party Ring. I was hooked instantly. I knew I had to try her recipe out for myself.
A crisp, crunchy biscuit layer topped with sugary sweet icing perfect for any party. Or a mid-afternoon snack. Paige’s recipe features a simple biscuit recipe , which does require some patience when it comes to chilling the dough.
You can’t skip these steps as they’re key to making sure you get the Party Ring’s signature ridges on the bottom of the cake. The choice of a longer, slower bake at a lower temperature will ensure the biscuit doesn’t burn. Although 50 minutes may seem like an aeon, that’s all it needed.
My biscuit kept its signature ridges while something out a wonderfully golden colour. You also need to let the biscuit cool completely before adding any icing, as it’ll just slide off. Paige guestimated the consistency of her icing, but you’ll want a thicker layer for the bottom, and more malleable consistency for the feathering.
As she recom.
