London’s Harrods is staging a unique confectionary showcase to mark the imminent marriage between Prince William and Catherine Middleton. From Tuesday 26th until Saturday 30th April 2011, each of the store’s iconic Brompton Road windows will house one of the magnificent creations. The 18 specially commissioned designer Royal Wedding cakes include creations from Cleef & Arpels, Richard James, Lalique, and many more.
The metre-high designs are each individually styled by esteemed designers from the worlds of fashion, fine jewellery, food and interiors, each specially invited by Harrods to present their take on the royal nuptials.
