"The Great British Bake Off" champion Nadia Hussain came through on the opportunity to bake a birthday cake for Queen Elizabeth on her 90th birthday.

The Queen stood before the cake Thursday while friends and loved ones sang "Happy Birthday."

Hussain, who won the fifth season of England's "The Great British Bake Off" last year, stood smiling to her right during the song.

The British Monarchy tweeted a video of the celebratory event soon afterward.

Hussain, a mother of three, baked a three tier orange drizzle cake for the Queen this year despite customary practice calling for a classic fruit cake.

"I have been inspired by the modern day and the Queen's love of bold color and created something that is perhaps not traditional, neither inside the cake or outside," Hussain said ahead of the event, according to the U.K. outlet, ABC.

"The One Show" aired footage of Hussain's baking process Wednesday night, showing the reality star commentating why she chose orange over grapefruit, believing the choice might be "a bit out there."

"It's such an honor to be doing this. I just don't want to disappoint the Queen," she emphasized during the clip.

On Thursday, the baker shared photos of her preparations, which included two bags of oranges, a crate of eggs, flour and butter.
