I told you the other day that I was so fed up with Royal Wedding fever that I was basically annoyed to the point of petty anger, but here’s one aspect of the whole shebang that I’m willing to concentrate on: THE CAKE, Y’ALL.
Personally, I get sick of cake after a bite or two, but a well-made pastry ain’t nothing to scoff at, and this delicacy? It’s fit for a future king and his bride, that’s for damn sure.
The flavor was William’s favorite chocolate biscuit cake (once again, Kate’s preferences are swept to the side) and the design is pretty traditional, but the details are phenomenal. Check out the closeups in the gallery. Is that a freakin’ tassel made out of icing? Incredible. And definitely classier than whatever that squinty-eyed husband thief LeAnn Rimes and her gross husband ate at their tacktastic wedding last week.
One thing? I’d be afraid to touch this thing with a knife. Sometimes they make these wedding cakes so pretty that it’s a complete shame that someone’s gotta bring a knife to it, but I guess we know all about pretty things getting knives waved at them around these parts, huh?
Actually Kate’s preferences weren’t “swept to the side.” That was the main cake and, as is traditional, William had a groom’s cake that was chocolate biscuit:

The cake pictured above is fruit cake, not chocolate biscuit. Even the link you embedded shows that.
I think they had two cakes: a fruit cake and the groom’s cake. Having a groom’s cake is some kind of tradition. Anywhos chocolate cakes are always better than fruit cakes methinks…
