Visitors will be able to enjoy the bespoke sweet treats until the end of the year at the in-house cafés, alongside savouries, salads, cakes and the signature Botanical Afternoon Tea.
The recipes take inspiration from the seasonal ingredients showcased in the onsite Kitchen Garden, which produces over 1.2 tonnes of organic produce annually.
Peter said: “The bakes I’ve made for this collaboration were designed to fit alongside the Gardens, so are all centred around fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Heritage Portfolio and, as a local from Edinburgh myself, creating a baking range for the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has truly been a pleasure. I can’t wait for people to try the bakes and hope they make an already grand day out at the gardens even sweeter.”
Peter’s cakes include carrot patch cupcakes (for children), rhubarb and orange cake, as well as apple and lemon thyme tart.
Clare Short, head of commercial sales at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, added: “Peter has created cakes that are exclusive to the Garden and what makes it even more special, as many people know from his Bake-Off competition, Peter is local and from Edinburgh.
“It is fantastic to give him the opportunity to showcase his talents right on his own doorstep using produce grown on site here in our kitchen garden. We hope that our visitors enjoy the cakes from this very talented baker, tasting produce from our garden and being part of this unique and exciting collaboration.”
