Happy Saturday all. Did you guys watch the royal wedding yesterday?? It was beautiful and sweet and everything nice too ...sob ..sob .. :-) The wedding gown was simply gorgeous!! Simple + gorgeous and matches the wedding cake right!! Well, here are some info that I managed to get about "THE ROYAL WEDDING CAKE". Happy reading :-) "Prince William and Kate Middleton, as we knew her Friday morning, were to cut the wedding cake as the duke and duchess of Cambridge at the queen's lunchtime reception at Buckingham Palace. The wedding cake, designed by Fiona Cairns, was accompanied by a chocolate biscuit cake that William had requested made from a royal family recipe. Garland on the cake matched architectural garland in the room, and each of the many varieties of flowers decorating the cake carried a specific meaning. The wedding cake was made up of 17 individual fruitcakes, with 12 forming the base. The cake was then decorated with cream and white icing using the Joseph Lambeth technique."

"The wedding cake and a chocolate biscuit cake will also be served at the Reception. The wedding cake, designed by Fiona Cairns, is made from 17 individual fruit cakes (12 of which form the base) and has eight tiers. The cake has been decorated with cream and white icing using the Joseph Lambeth technique. There are up to 900 individually iced flowers and leaves of 17 different varieties decorated on the cake. A garland design around the middle of the cake matches the architectural garlands decorated around the top of the Picture Gallery in Buckingham Palace, the room in which the cake will be displayed. The chocolate biscuit cake was created by Mcvitie’s Cake Company using a Royal Family recipe at the special request of Prince William.

During the course of the Reception, Governors-General and Prime Ministers of Realm Countries will be presented to The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall and the Bridal Couple.  The Reception will include the cutting of the wedding cake and some speeches."
