Here’s how Duchess Kate Middleton wanted her wedding cake to be
Take a look at the specifications of the royal cake served in Prince William and Duchess Kate’s wedding.
The Royal cake baker Fiona Cairns recalled to People the specification that were given to her for Duchess Kate and Prince Williams’ wedding cake, on their 10th anniversary.
And it was no one but Kate who gave her the specifications. She said, “The brief came from Kate, and she was very specific.”
“The theme of the wedding was to be very classical, very imaginative and stylish. Where William and Kate’s cake broke with tradition was that she made it very clear she didn’t want a cake as tall as some of the previous royal wedding cakes,” she added.
Kate also gave a list of 17 flowers and did not wanted the thick icing. She also asked Fiona not to add anything golden.
“It had to be multitiered, and it had to be a fruit cake,” Cairns said to People. “She didn’t want any gold or glitter. It wasn’t to have any color on it all. It had to reflect the flowers of the four [U.K.] nations, and it also had to reflect the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace, where the cake was going to be, to show some of the architectural detail.”
Talking about the secrecy that they had to maintain doing this project he said “We couldn’t tell our children.”
