AFTER Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot on Saturday, they’ll no doubt tuck in to cake which is fit for a king.
Made by London-based pastry chef Claire Ptak using lemon, elderflower and lemons, the cake is expected to cost thousands of pounds.
But Morrisons is now offering fans royal wedding fans a slice of the occasion by making their own version of this exclusive wedding cake – which will cost just £7.
WEATHER: Sunshine forecast for Royal Wedding weekend
The cake will be made with three ten-inch layers of classic sponge, lemon curd and whipped British cream flavoured with elderflower. The sides of the cake will be decorated with white chocolate curls and it will be topped with a generous sprinkling of pink rose petals.
Morrisons florists will hand-tie their version of the Royal-to-be’s bouquet. It will include pink peonies – widely known to be Meghan’s favourite flower – along with snapdragons and large white avalanche roses.
Fashionable London-based florist Philippa Craddock has been chosen to create the wedding flowers and Kensington Palace has said they will include peonies, foxgloves and white garden roses.
Morrisons has chosen its flowers to match Meghan’s selection as far as possible, for example, snagdragons closely resemble the wild foxglove.
A spokesman for Morrisons, which has stores in Taunton and Bridgwater, said: “Customers who weren’t lucky enough to get an invite but want to take part in the celebrations, will still be able to enjoy a cake fit for a prince and princess. And Meghan has chosen some stunning flowers, so we wanted our customers to enjoy our own version of her bouquet.”
The ‘Wedding Celebration Cake’ costing £7 will be available from Morrisons Bridgwater’s Cake Shop counter, whilst the ‘Wedding Celebration Bouquet’ costing £25 will be available from the store’s FlowerWorld section.
Both will be sold until May 20. For more information, visit: www.morrisons.com.
