I enjoyed it and it’s been 30 years since I saw a royal wedding.
I love the cake!
SOLVED! Cousins.

Who is that in the teal? Hair is different.
I want to know what Harry said to William when he turned around and saw Kate coming down the aisle.
Pippa
Last chance to run?
The bottom one is the Groom’s cake?
2 questions....why didn’t Kate wear a necklace? And, what were the flowers in her bouquet? Wish it had more color. The dress....absolutely beautiful! Love that the train wasn’t mega long!
I heard the grooms cake was chocolate biscuit cake...his fave when a child....looks mighty yummy!!
I think Prince Harry should get to know Pippa, and lose Chelsea! Pippa is georgeous, and Chelsea is icky...
I read that the flowers were Sweet William, Lillies of the Valley, and some Myrtle form Queen Victorias garden (a tradition for all royal brides) the other flowers I cant remember...sorry
Chelsea appears “low rent Rondesvous” and Pippa has class....perhaps Chelsea is the “sowing of wild oats” lass, but NOT the one he will bring home to the queen mum.
Groom’s cake:
CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE
Servings: 8
Note: “Biscuits” is Brit-speak for “cookies.” The biscuits may be purchased at specialty food shops and some supermarkets and ordered online.
Ingredients:
8 ounces tea biscuits or cookies
½ stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
12 ounces dark chocolate
1 egg, beaten
1 ounce white chocolate
1. Grease a 6-inch cake ring or springform pan with butter. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Break biscuits into almond-size pieces; set aside. Cream butter and sugar in a bowl until a light lemon color.
2. Melt 4 ounces of the dark chocolate in a double boiler. Off the heat, add the butter and sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Add the egg; continue stirring. Fold in the biscuit pieces until they are all coated with the chocolate mixture.
3. Spoon the mixture into the cake ring. Try to fill all the gaps on the bottom of the ring, because this will be the top when it is unmolded. Refrigerate, at least 3 hours.
4. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and let it stand while you melt the remaining 8 ounces of dark chocolate in a double boiler. Slide the ring off the cake; turn the cake upside-down onto a cooling rack. Pour the melted chocolate over the cake, smoothing the top and sides using a butter knife or offset spatula. Allow the icing to set at room temperature. Run a knife around the bottom of the cake where it has stuck to the cooling rack, transfer the cake to a cake dish. Melt white chocolate; drizzle on top of cake in a decorative pattern.
