Wouldn't you want a taste of these cakes???? WOW!
A slice of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding cake is set for auction.The boxed fruit cake, has been supplied to online auction house PFC Auctions by
an anonymous seller. This piece was among 650 pieces of wedding cake given to
guests at the afternoon reception of the royal wedding
held at Buckingham Palace last April.
The cake was designed by Fiona Cairnes and comes in a presentation tin commissioned and designed by Peter Windett and Sally Mangum, the Daily Mail reported.
It is also accompanied by a printed compliments slip from Prince Charles
and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the 16 page Order of Service
from Westminster Abbey which includes the vows, hymns, prayers and
blessing from the Wedding......
This piece is supposedly the first piece of William and Kate’s wedding cake to appear at any auction with a starting bid of 100 pounds.
Two other slices of royal wedding cake will also be sold at that the same auction - a piece of the Royal wedding cake from the 1981 marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, and a slice of the original wedding cake from the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips on 14 November 1973.
AMAZING....
Both pieces of cake are reported to be well preserved, the piece from Prince Charles & Lady Diana is double wrapped in waxed paper, the outer wrapper with pierced tracery, and still in the original printed white presentation box.
The piece from the wedding Princess Anne and Captain
Mark Phillips on 14 November 1973 is in the original sealed and
unopened white box.
The slices are accompanied by the printed ceremonial programmes for
the wedding, and with the piece of cake from Princess Anne’s wedding the
buyer will receive silver printed wedding breakfast cards, the official
invitation, two tickets and the order of service.
“They are lovely pieces of Royal memorabilia, and rarely seen on the market as these personal items are only gifted to close friends and family who attend the weddings,” a spokesman from PFC Auctions said.
“The Royal section of our auction is particularly strong and interest in the Royal Family is sky high so we are hopeful they will achieve around 800 pounds to 1,000 pounds each,” the spokesman added.
Just amazing what people do to preseve the slice of history.
