Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially married – now let them eat cake!
After a stunning royal wedding ceremony inside St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in England, the newlyweds are set to celebrate with 600 guests during a lunchtime reception. There, the royal couple will cut into a one-of-a-kind cake baked specifically for them.
The wedding cake is to be served at the Reception. It was designed by Claire Ptak and features elderflower syrup made at The Queen’s residence in Sandringham from the estate’s own elderflower trees, as well as a light sponge cake uniquely formulated for the couple. #royalwedding pic.twitter.com/kt5lE4tEn9

Designed by Claire Ptak, owner of Violet Bakery in East London, the cake features elderflower syrup made from The Queen’s own elderflower trees at her Sandringham residence. The inside consists of a decadent, light lemon sponge cake that has been drizzled with elderflower syrup filled with Amalfi lemon curd and elderflower buttercream.
The cake has been presented on a lavish display for the reception and decorated with over 150 fresh flowers – including peonies and roses.
Before the cutting of the wedding cake, Prince Harry and Meghan will give speeches and address the crowd for the first time as a married couple. Harry’s best man, Prince William, will act as the compere for the reception.
This royal wedding takes the cake!
