HER CALIFORNIAN CAKEMAKER

CLAIRE Ptak, the Californian baker and blogger who is to make the royal wedding cake, has also been trumpeting her involvement.

Ms Ptak, who runs the Violet Bakery in london, has confirmed that she is making a trendy lemon and elderflower sponge cake for the couple. She instagrammed a picture of six boxes of lemons on Monday with the caption: ‘and so it begins.’

a few hours later she shared an image of a beautiful cream coloured cake, decorated with peonies, which are Ms Markle’s favourite flower. is this a layer of the actual cake which will be served to 600 guests on Saturday? it seems it might be.
