Have you seen the Royal Wedding cake yet?

To me, the most exciting part of weddings is the dress and the cake of course .. why? it is simply because the delicious white frosting =D well how about a a lavish Royal Wedding cake?! perfect extraordinary cake that was enjoyed at the reception ceremony.
The confectionery masterpiece covered in cream and white icing and decorated with up to 900 delicate sugar-paste flowers was centre-stage at the Buckingham Palace reception held in the picture gallery.
The project has left cake-maker Fiona Cairns exhausted but elated after working for five weeks on it  which has tested her skills and those of her team to the limit.
