The theater Royal in Drury Lane is one of the oldest London theaters. It was opened on May 7, 1663. King Charles II was present at the performance and he was the first British king who attended a public theater. Since that time the theater is called Royal and the actors — the King’s Company. Drury Lane, as it is called sometimes, is a theater of traditions. One of them — dating back to 1795 — is kept each Twelfth Night (January 6th), when the Baddeley cake is offered to every member of the Company with a glass of wine.
Robert Baddeley was a pastry cook who became an actor and joined the King’s Company at the theater Royal. After a successful stage career he left money in his will to give cake and wine for the Company every Twelfth Night. After the evening performance, the actors and actresses come off the stage in their costumes and make-up and go to the hall to eat the Baddeley cake.
