The Secret's Out - at Least About the Royal Cake

I haven't really been following a lot of the royal wedding news, but I came across an article on William and Kate's cake, and let's face it, a cake that big and important just has to grab your attention, especially if you're a romance writer. So, here's the scoop:

And here's an interesting video of the cake designer which tells you a bit more (and you get to see some of the cake flowers)!


And then, because I was curious (and because we can't see this particular cake yet), I went looking for a photo of Charles and Diana's cake:
And Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip's cake: 

As well as some footage of The Queen Mother's Cake from 1923:



None of these cakes will break any records, however. The largest wedding cake ever made fed 59,000 as discussed in this article on wedding records.

As the lady said, "Let Them Eat Cake!" (Hmm, I don't think she quite meant it in the same way).

Happy Royal Wedding Dreams! (Yum, I can taste the cake already. More fondant, please).

  3. Of the cakes shown I like Queen Elizabeth's best...but I'm sure Kate and William's will outshine all the others. I'm very excited to see all the hoopla surrounding their wedding.

  4. I love watching how cakes are made, too. I'd never have the patience, but I'm glad that someone does. And these are spectacular, aren't they?
