A Royal Sweetie



We are in countdown mode until the big day on April 29. 
Every street corner in London, in fact everywhere you go 
you see a reference to the impending nuptials 
of Prince William and Catherine. 


I have to admit that Royal Fever is even affecting me!
I haven't felt this excited since the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
There is nothing like a nation in preparation of a big event.
It makes you feel giddy :)

On that note, I have a Royal Sweetie for you.
Fiona Cairns, is the soon to be creator of the royal wedding cake. 

I had a glimpse at a video on The Royal Channel this morning and wanted
to share it with you.  In the video posted below Fiona talks about the 
Language of Flowers.  A language that is reminiscent of Victorian times 
when emotions were expressed in a coded way. 
What you could not say in words you expressed with flowers. 
Catherine has made several special requests for the royal wedding cake. 
Some of them are..
Pink Rose... for happiness
Oak and Acorn...for strength and endurance
Lily of the Valley...for sweetness and humility
The four national flowers will also be included
English Rose....England
Thistle...Scotland
Daffodil ....Wales
Shamrock ...Ireland

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Fiona's cakes are beautiful and even better she has a cookbook for those
who are feeling royally inspired :)
