American-born baker Claire Ptak of East London’s Violet Bakery made the royal cake. (Markle has known Ptak for some time; the future Duchess interviewed the pastry chef for her now-defunct lifestyle site in 2015.) According to the Palace, 200 Amalfi lemons, 500 organic eggs from Suffolk, 20 kgs of butter, 20 kgs of flour, 20 kgs of sugar, and 10 bottles of elderflower cordial from the Queen’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk went into the cake.
