Morrisons at Swinnow has created its own £7 version of the Royal Wedding cake and its own £25 version of Meghan Markle’s wedding bouquet.
The supermarket on Swinnow Road has created the cake so that Royal Family fans can get a taste of the Royal Wedding in the comfort of their own home.
Meghan and Harry’s cake is being made by London-based pastry chef Claire Ptak using lemon, elderflower and flowers and is expected to cost thousands of pounds.
Morrisons version of the cake is being made fresh in store and is hand finished by its skilled Cake Makers using the same three ingredients.
The cake will be made with three ten inch layers of classic sponge, lemon curd and whipped British cream flavoured with elderflower. The sides of the cake will be decorated with white chocolate curls and it will be topped with a generous sprinkling of pink rose petals.
Morrisons florists will hand-tie their version of the Royal-to-be’s bouquet. It will include pink peonies – widely known to be Meghan’s favourite flower – along with snapdragons and large white avalanche roses.
David Harrison, store manager at Swinnow Morrisons said:
“Customers who weren’t lucky enough to get an invite but want to take part in the celebrations, will still be able to enjoy a cake fit for a prince and princess. And Meghan has chosen some stunning flowers, so we wanted our customers to enjoy our own version of her bouquet.”
