Royal wedding cake: eight tiers of frosted fruitcake goodness

Dying to see the royal wedding cake? There it is, to the left, in all its eight-tiered, fruitcake glory.

Prince William and Kate Middleton, as we knew her Friday morning, were to cut the wedding cake as the duke and duchess of Cambridge at the queen's lunchtime reception at Buckingham Palace.

The wedding cake, designed by Fiona Cairns, was accompanied by a chocolate biscuit cake that William had requested made from a royal family recipe.

Garland on the cake matched architectural garland in the room, and each of the many varieties of flowers decorating the cake carried a specific meaning.

The wedding cake was made up of 17 individual fruitcakes, with 12 forming the base. The cake was then decorated with cream and white icing using the Joseph Lambeth technique.
