The main ornament of the wedding table is usually a multi-level fruit cake. The pastry chefs start preparing the wedding cake about a month before the ceremony. It took five weeks to make Prince William and Kate’s cake (the picture on the left). After cooking, it is impregnated daily with rum and cognac. This particular cake can be kept for decades.
Meghan and Harry broke with tradition by choosing a lemon and elderberry syrup cake with real flowers. 200 lemons and 10 bottles of elderberry syrup were used to impregnate the dough with this cake. It is also different because it does not have the various traditional floors, but it is divided into different parts laid on independent gold pedestals.
