The Royal Wedding Cake

Fiona Cairns- The Cake designer

Prince William and 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, decorated with cream and white icing. 

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. 

Fiona Cairns was chosen for her creative style and beautifully crafted handmade cakes using traditional British ingredients.  

The cake will have a strong British floral theme using elements of the Joseph Lambeth technique.  The Lambeth technique is derived from a style of decorating where chefs and decorators use a lot of intricate piping to create 3-D scrollwork, leaves and flowers.  It is a popular method frequently used by wedding cake designers to create ornate wedding cakes.  

McVitie’s Cake Company will create a chocolate biscuit cake for the reception at Buckingham Palace. The chocolate biscuit cake will be made from a Royal Family recipe and was specially requested by Prince William.
