Elizabeth\u2019s\u00a0Cake Emporium was Commissioned to Recreate Royal Wedding Cake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe original cake was a two-tier cake on a raised pedestal surrounded by sugar angels and lions, with cherubs holding the basket topper aloft. The cake was also adorned with sugar roses, other sugar flowers, sugar leaves, sugar berries and sugar fruit. It also featured the royal crests of Britain and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step in our creative process was the cake design. We knew we wanted a grand wedding cake fit for a princess so we opted for a 7-tier cake with the bottom two tiers entirely covered with sugar flowers, sugar cherubs we created special moulds for, sugar fruit and sugar leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the rest of the streamlined tiers, we kept the intricate latticework design on the cake, trimming the bottom and top edges of each tier with gold piping. We also used certain sugar flowers for their symbolic meaning such as daisies for innocence, purity and humility, and of course, the rose national flower of England, with its long tradition within English symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The creation of this royal wedding cake took over 200 hours of solid work at Elizabeth’s\u00a0Cake Emporium, where we\u00a0hand-made over 5,000 individual sugar flowers, petal by petal, the sugar leaves, the cherubs and the sugar fruit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also sourced different cherub moulds and also created larger custom moulds, sculpting the shapes before casting them using food-safe silicone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The result was a stunning 4-foot-tall wedding cake nearly 3 feet wide topped with a basket shape filled with sugar flowers and sugar fruit. John created everything out of sugar and I did the same, from the intricate quilted basketweave design to the sugar flowers, fruit and sugar cherubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\nElizabeth\u2019s\u00a0Cake Emporium was Commissioned to Recreate Royal Wedding Cake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn keeping with most extravagant weddings at the time, the cake flavour was a fruit cake, Dundee cake, although the cake is available in other flavour preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElizabeth\u2019s\u00a0Cake Emporium was Commissioned to Recreate Royal Wedding Cake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe cake will travel across Searcy’s restaurants throughout the summer starting on 17 May which is National Baking Day. Diners will be able to have a sample at venues including 116 Pall Mall, The Pump Room in Bath, St Pancras Brasserie, and Searcys at the Gherkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Little More About Princess Maud’s Wedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Princess Maud wed Prince Carl of Denmark in a Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace on July 22nd 1896. Guests at the wedding included Queen Victoria, the grandmother of the bride, the Prince and Princess of Wales, her parents, and the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark. Carl and Maud were offered the crown of Norway in 1905 and accepted after a referendum showing popular support for their rule. They became King Haakon VII and Queen Maud on November 18th 1905. <\/p>\n\n\n\nElizabeth\u2019s\u00a0Cake Emporium was Commissioned to Recreate Royal Wedding Cake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe cake wasn\u2019t the only thing considered extravagant at the wedding. The bride, the daughter of the future King Edward VII (Prince Edward at the time), wore an extravagantly designed wedding dress. Made from white satin, the dress was adorned with chiffon flowers at the skirt hem and had a long train bordered with orange blossoms. It\u2019s believed the waist was embroidered with silver and diamonds and the bride\u2019s veil measured 6.4 m (21 feet) in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
