Fiona created the fruit cake for the royal wedding in 2011
Fiona – who was also responsible for Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston's cake in 2019 – previously opened up about making the impressive wedding cake for Kate and William's wedding in 2011, and told HELLO! how the style broke from royal tradition.
"We knew it was going to be a fruitcake because that's what we'd been briefed to do and we're sort of known for fruit cake. Then it had to be designed and we had to visit the picture gallery in Buckingham Palace to get the proportions right and where it was going to be [placed]," she began, later adding that part of the brief was to match the lace from Princess Kate's Alexander McQueen bridal gown.
"So all that took at least three weeks. Once we got going we didn't have very much time. To actually make, it took about six [weeks].
"Our cake was breaking tradition in the sense that it was sugar paste – it was a softer look, a more romantic look. The flowers were sort of cascading down. It was a different look." See more impressive royal wedding cakes here.
