With the Royal Wedding upon us, the little details of the wedding are being released. It seems that even William and Kate want their wedding to be a wedding less ordinary. Breaking away from some of the traditions of the Royal Weddings in the past, William and Kate are making their own way and creating the wedding that they want, reflecting a bit of their personalities within the details of the day.The Royal Wedding Cake (or should we say cakes)
William and Kate have decided to keep both the traditional and the modern when it comes to their wedding cake. How are they going to do this? ... by having two cakes of course. The first cake will be a traditional fruit cake made and designed by Fiona Cairns. The design will feature a sugar English rose, a Scottish thistle, the Welsh daffodil and an Irish shamrock. Not only that, but this cake will showcase the couples new cipher which will be unveiled on the big day itself and is thought to be an elegant design entwining the couples initials.

Now for the Royal Wedding Cake number two!
This is where William & Kate introduce the less ordinary to their wedding day. The Royal couple have requested a second cake to be designed and made using Prince William's favourite childhood biscuit McVities Rich Teas and chocolate.
Paul Courtney, McVities cake design and development head chef explains that the cake will be unbaked, with two new secret products made especially for the Royal couple. The cake will be modern and elegant, featuring a contemporary chocolate display.
