The Royal Wedding Cake 2011
The Most Prestigious Cake this 2011!
Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton have chosen Leicestershire-based cake designer Fiona Cairns to create their wedding cake.
The wedding cake will be a multi-tiered traditional fruit cake. The cake, which will be decorated with cream and white icing, will have a strong British floral theme using elements of the Joseph Lambeth technique. Fiona was chosen for her creative style and beautifully crafted handmade cakes using traditional British ingredients. Her business, started 25 years ago on her kitchen table, is now based in a state of the art bakery in Leicestershire, the heart of the English countryside.
"The cake, which will be decorated with cream and white icing, will have a strong British floral theme using elements of the Joseph Lambeth technique"
Kate has given the cake designer detailed plans for the project which will be the centrepiece of the Buckingham Palace wedding reception.
The cake will be decorated with William and Kate's new cipher - thought to feature the couple's entwined initials - which will be officially released on their wedding day.
Another theme will be the four flowers of the home nations - English rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh daffodil and Irish shamrock.
Ms Cairns, 56, whose sweet treats are sold in Harrods, Selfridges and Waitrose, was contacted by William's office in February and asked if she would make the couple's wedding cake, which she agreed to do.
"It's multi-tiered, doesn't have colour - it's cream and white (icing) - and it's a traditional cake but also quite delicate and modern, all the tiers will have a different theme."
William and Kate are fans of her fruit cakes, while Paul McCartney orders one for Christmas every year and she has also baked creations for Pink Floyd and Simply Red in the past.
The commission has been a process of discovery for the 56-year-old who has also been asked by Kate to feature around 16 different blooms and foliage for their meaning - known as the "language of flowers".
William's fiancee also wanted elements from the Joseph Lambeth technique of cake decoration, where intricate piping is used to make three dimensional scroll work, leaves, flowers and other adornments.
The cake designer, who lives in Leicestershire, said Kate made her feel relaxed when they met around six weeks ago at Clarence House to discuss ideas, adding: "She has guided us right from the beginning and has quite strong ideas.

i'm a chef... but i won't eat your icing flowers coz your showing that your workers don't take off their rings before starting to work. Because RINGS pick up GERMS & BACTERIAS.
