REPORTER: The kitchen at Biscuiteers is heating up. The bakery is expecting a sales boom in Diamond Jubilee biscuits as the U.K. catches royal fever. Co-founder Harriet Hastings has created a range of handmade cookies especially for the celebrations.
HARRIET HASTINGS: "There's nothing better than a starting point where you sit down and think about a new collection. I mean we create new collections in our business all the time, seasonally and for all events, but obviously to have such a big event as this, this year, is really good."
REPORTER: Hastings says the royal collections are the most intricate, so they take much longer to produce. And with a kitchen capacity of 30 staff, there's sure to be a lot of overtime.
HARRIET HASTINGS: "What we're trying to do here is to show that you can have a successful - and a volume business actually - based on very old-fashioned, handmade qualities, which I think you can."
REPORTER: The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations take place from June 2nd to 5th - no doubt with plenty of tea and Jubilee biscuits. Tara Cleary, Reuters.
