A Cake Fit for the Royal Wedding

Today the eyes of the world at London's Westminster Abbey, as Prince William and Kate Middleton exchange wedding vows.

It is expected that the royal wedding will be marked by more than 5,000 street parties throughout the United Kingdom.

Food plays an important role in any wedding, maybe even more so in one of the Royal Variety. The reception by Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace, guests treated dishes such as Yorkshire pudding with horseradish cream and quail eggs with salted celery.

William and Kate have a Leicestershire-based confectioner, Fiona Cairns, decided to prepare for the cake. Cairns has created a huge, multi-traditional fruit cake with whipped cream and white icing decorated.

The second cake is served at the reception, a favorite of Prince William, crunchy chocolate cake with McVities Cake Company, which has already prepared a cake for the royal family for many years.

This may be a surprise to many that the recipe for chocolate cake is crisp actually very simple.

Since most of us it is not possible to attend the royal wedding, so this cake is a great way to bring a small piece of the ceremony at home.

I hope you enjoy this sweet, royal treatment, during the wedding to see on the TV screen.
