| Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding cake |
Our wedding cake of the day is Prince Charles and Diana's wedding cake.
At their July 29, 1981 wedding Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles chose a 5-tiered wedding cake. The cake had a whiff of modernity, with its architectural, temple-esque facets and spare, columnar supports. But all the geometry is somewhat mitigated by its crown - a bit old thicket of regal blooms.
Topping out at more than 5 feet high, the cake was adorned with both the Prince and his family's royal coat of arms, the couple's first initials and a spray of roses, lilies of the valley and orchids.
The cake was prepared by chef David Avery of the Royal Naval Cookery School.
FYI - A slice of the top tier later sold at an auction in 2008 for $1,830. Oops!

ReplyDeleteChocolate cake is starting to grow in popularity and is far removed from the traditional white iced cake.
