The Royal Wedding Cakes of History

“The cutting of the cake is the first task that bride and groom perform jointly as husband and wife, and so the cake takes on a symbolism and meaning beyond simply being a delicious finale to a celebratory meal.

A wedding cake made for a Royal couple will often be large enough to serve over 2,000 people, with slices packaged up and sent to charities and organizations close to them as well as served up to the guests in attendance.” - Royal UK (Learn about Royal Wedding Cakes)

“In 2005, I was delighted to be invited to Clarence House for a meeting that ended with me securing the commission to make the wedding cake of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles, as well as 2,500 slices given to the guests inside commemorative tins marking this very special day in our history.

A full size replica is on show at Sophisticake.” - Sophisticake
