The gorgeous cakes of Kate's wedding cake baker, Fiona Cairns
A tale of two wedding cakes-
There will be two official wedding cakes at the royal wedding reception. William's cake and Kate's. Will's will be traditional, made by McVitie's, the cookie company that has been making British monarch wedding cakes since George V in 1893. Kate's cake will be the more stylish dessert, made by Fiona Cairns who creates elegant, modern, understated cakes for such icons of cool as Keith Richards and Sir Paul McCartney. Kate's cake bakers have been legally sworn to secrecy, but the Telegraph gleaned that the colors will be shades of white, that there will be intertwined initials decorating the cake as well as representations of acorns, the symbol on the Middleton coat of arms, but what stuck out to Mrs. Cairns the most was Kate's request to include "the language of flowers." All the pretty news made us cake-happy, and we had to see the desserts Mrs. Cairns is known for. Here are the whimsical creations we found, starting with the one above, which she calls her 'vintage glamor' wedding cake.
