Title:
Charles And Diana’s Wedding Cake (July 29th, 1981)
Description:
The marriage of HRH Charles Windsor,
Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer was an international sensation. Watched by an estimated 750,000,000 people around the world, the wedding was the culmination of a fairy tale in which an assistant kindergarten teacher became a Princess overnight.
The specimen in the Mini Museum comes from a slice of the royal wedding cake, a traditional fruit cake. The layers of the official cake took 14 weeks to prepare, including an identical twin held in emergency reserve. For display, each cake was sliced and placed into individual monogrammed boxes. These prepared slices were then placed into larger, hand-painted boxes and finished with sugar paste icing to form the decorated layers of the cake.
