It appears as though Meghan Markle does have a sweet tooth after all! The Duchess of Sussex recently shared her sweetest post yet on the official Sussex royal Instagram account.
Meghan, who likes to keep fit and eat an organic diet herself, explained why she put the spotlight on Luminary Bakery, a small independent London bakery that is making a difference in its community. Here’s what you need to know.
According to People Magazine, Luminary Bakery in East London is a social enterprise that helps disadvantaged women from the area bake their way to the top.
Bakery Thrilled The Duchess Has Profiled Them On Her Social Media Account
They are also thrilled that the Duchess is shining a light on them but profiling them on her social media account.
Sharing a photo of the bakery’s cupcakes on display, Meghan wrote an inspirational message that said, “What they’ve created at Luminary Bakery is exceptional – it’s a space for baking, healing and rebuilding.
“When I visited earlier this year I was struck by how the baking, itself, is a means of therapy for these women – which in many ways makes complete sense – feeling they had no control over their lives based on their previous (and often harrowing) circumstances, they found comfort in the measured nature of baking.”
Luminary Bakery Satisfies Sweet Tooth And Gives Back To The Community
And while there’s no word on whether or not Meghan had a cupcake herself (she only treats herself to her cheat food once a year – and that’s on her birthday), the Duchess said that the bakery is not only doing its job on satisfying everyone’s sweet tooth, but giving back where they can.

“Mixing equal parts of one ingredient and another could yield the perfect dessert, but the act of doing so provided personal balance,” Meghan continued. “So while the baked goods are absolutely delicious, it’s the story of how the program at Luminary reshapes lives through baking that is the actual icing on the cake.”
Clearly, this isn’t a post that you would often see from a royal but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s fans are loving it. So far the post has received over 274,000 likes and thousands of comments.
