I couldn’t let the Royal Wedding pass without paying homage to the Royal Menu.  If the wedding was a dream,  the luncheon and reception have to be heaven! As near as I can tell, pictures of the food must be a national secret as there are NO images on-line.  Here are the menus and the cake!  Know more?  Post below!

The Cake 

The wedding cake 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. A filling made from Amalfi lemon curd and elderflower buttercream ties all the elements together. The cake is decorated with Swiss meringue buttercream and 150 fresh flowers, mainly British and in season, including peonies and roses.
