A Halifax woman has been invited to visit Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall in England after her baked goods caught the attention of the royal couple during their recent trip to Canada.
Ingrid Dunsworth, known locally as “The Cake Lady,” is preparing for her once-in-a-lifetime trip to Britain, where she’ll visit Highgrove, the country home of the heir to the British throne.
Dunsworth first met Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, when the royal couple made a stop at the Seaport Farmer’s Market in Halifax. It was one of their many appearances during a four-day royal tour that also included visits to P.E.I. and Manitoba.
