Fiona Cairn from Leicestershire and her team made this cake - she supplies the likes of Selfridges and Harrods.
This 9 tiered baby took 5 weeks to create.
Do I like it ? Yes and No - I guess it has to be suitably embellished to compete against the surrounding elegant setting ... perhaps a little too much for my liking .... but perfect for a princess!
What I love about this cake is the detail and thought that went into it - Kate gave detailed instructions to include 17 different types of flowers for their meanings...
the "language of love"...I detail some below
Sweet William: Grant me one smile
Honeysuckle: The bond of Love
Lily of the Valley: Sweetness, Humility
Apple Blossom: Preference, Good fortune
Daisy: Innocence, Beauty, Simplicity
White Heather: Protection, Wishes come true
and many many more..... I am SUCH a hopeless romantic.
How can you not become lost in that list?
The fourth tier featured intricate garlands, reflecting the architechtural details in the room.
The cake was traditional fruit - and the bride was suitably impressed. The detailing is mindblowingly exquisite.
What do we all think of the cake?
It's never too late to talk about the Royal Wedding... How could you ever cut into it though I wouldn't want to ruin it! x
