Five, yes FIVE weeks in the making, eight tiers heigh which consist of 17 fruit cakes and 900 [or so] individually iced flowers and leaves [of which there are 17 varieties].
Although it seems a shame to cut, it will be cut, later today, by William and Kate at the afternoon reception being held at Buckingham Place.
The cake was designed and made by Fiona Carins who lives and works in Leicestershire. Kate was heavily involved in the designing of the cake insisting on 17 different blooms and foliage for their meaning or symbolism - known as the "language of flowers".
