7-yr-old wedding cake served at royal christening
    2018-07-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge served slices of their wedding fruit cake from seven years ago to guests at Prince Louis’ christening.

A tier of Prince William and Kate’s eight-tier wedding cake was served to guests at a private tea at Clarence House following the service at Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace on Monday.

Slices of the couple’s wedding cake were also served at both Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s christenings, in keeping with tradition.

The Duke and Duchess’ 3-foot-high wedding cake was made by baker Fiona Cairns, and consisted of 17 individual fruit cakes.

The cake is still edible after all these years thanks to the alcohol that it contains, which helps to preserve the cake.

It is traditional for couples to save a tier of their wedding cake for the christening of their first born child, but Kate and William have chosen to do so for all three of their children.

The cake was decorated with cream and white icing, and featured 900 individually iced flowers and leaves of 17 different varieties decorated on the cake.

It took Fiona Cairns and her team five weeks to design the cake. A piece of the cake sold for a whopping US$7,500 at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, California in 2014, according to CNN Money.

Along with the tradition of serving their wedding cake at the christening, Kate and William are sticking with tradition by dressing 2-month-old Louis in the same christening gown worn by his siblings.

Louis was the eighth royal baby christened in the Honiton lace and white satin gown that was first used at the christening of James, Viscount Severn in 2008.

Along with Viscount Severn, Louis’ older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte both wore the gown, as did Lord Frederick Windsor’s daughter Maud and Zara Tindall’s little girl, Mia.

The frilly cream outfit is a replica of the intricate lace and satin christening gown made for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter that was used for all royal baptisms until Lady Louise Windsor’s in 2004.

在路易小王子的洗礼上,剑桥公爵和公爵夫人(威廉王子和凯特王妃)请宾客吃的是七年前他们婚礼上的水果蛋糕。

周一在圣詹姆斯宫皇家礼拜堂举行的洗礼结束后,宾客们在克拉伦斯王府的私人茶会上享用了威廉王子和凯特王妃婚礼上的八层蛋糕中的一层。

依照传统,威廉凯特夫妇的婚礼蛋糕也曾在乔治小王子和夏洛特小公主的洗礼上招待过宾客。

威廉凯特婚礼上的蛋糕高3英尺(0.9米),是由糕点师菲奥娜•凯恩斯制作的,包含17块独立的水果蛋糕。

过了这么多年,这个蛋糕仍然可以吃,这要归功于蛋糕中所含的酒精,酒精有助于保存蛋糕。

按照王室传统,威廉凯特要留下婚礼蛋糕中的一层用于第一个孩子的洗礼,但威廉和凯特选择在三个孩子的洗礼上都用婚礼蛋糕招待宾客。

婚礼蛋糕用奶油和白色糖衣来装饰,点缀了900朵另外制作的糖霜花草,造型多达17种。

光是做这个蛋糕就花了设计师菲奥娜•凯恩斯以及她的团队共五周的时间。据CNN Money报道,有一块蛋糕2014年在加利福尼亚州贝弗利山庄的朱利安拍卖行最终以7500美元的高价成交。

除了遵照在洗礼上请客人吃婚礼蛋糕的传统,威廉和凯特还让两个月大的路易小王子穿他哥哥姐姐穿过的同一件受洗礼服,这也是一项王室传统。

路易小王子是穿着这件霍尼顿花边白色缎面礼服接受洗礼的第8个王室宝贝,2008年塞文子爵詹姆斯受洗时第一次穿了这件礼服。

除了塞文子爵,路易的哥哥乔治小王子和姐姐夏洛特小公主都曾穿过这件礼服,温莎公爵弗雷德里克的女儿莫德和萨拉公主的女儿米娅也穿过。

这件镶褶边的乳白色礼服仿制了维多利亚女王大女儿的精致蕾丝缎面受洗礼服,当年那件礼服曾用于所有王室宝贝的洗礼,直到2004年路易斯•温莎郡主最后一次穿着它受洗。
