The wedding is due to take place on 19 May 2018 at Windsor Castle in England. Kensington Palace said on Tuesday that the royal wedding cake will be a lemon elderflower concoction incorporating the bright flavours of spring.
The cake will be covered with buttercream, and adorned with fresh flowers.
The designated pastry chef Claire Ptak was raised in California and worked as a pastry chef under the celebrated Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in Berkeley.
“I can’t tell you how delighted I am to be chosen to make Prince Harry and Ms Markle’s wedding cake,” Ptak says in a statement released by Kensington Palace.
“Knowing that they really share the same values as I do about food provenance, sustainability, seasonality and most importantly flavour, makes this the most exciting event to be a part.” Ptak now runs Violet Bakery in London.
Markle knows Ptak from when the Suits star interviewed the baker for Markle’s former lifestyle website TheTig.com where she celebrated food and travel and featured interviews with friends and role models to discuss philanthropy and community.
” The palace says the couple is very much looking forward to sharing this cake” with guests at their May 19 nuptials. The guest list has not been released, and the designer of Markle’s dress has so far been kept a secret.
