Infanta Cristina & Iñaki Urdangarín's cake looks awful to me. i don't like it at all. it doesn't look very regal to me.

What's the red stuff on the cake?

 

[La la]

I think the red stuff are berries. They could also be rose petals.

 

[Incas]

I think the cake looks like a stack of draws, especially the red dots on the side, could pass for handles.

Truly tacky and hideous looking, IMO. That's what I thought when I first saw their wedding pics back in 98. I haven't changed my mind!

I actually looked over Haakon and MM's wedding cake again the other day. Now that was impressive!

i liked edward and sophie's, andrew and sarah's and hamzah and noor's. they look original, protocolar and simple.

Their cake looks like some kind of a fruit cake.

I like Andrew and Sarah's wedding cake the best. It was simple and elegant. Nice decorative touches but not too wacky (which is good for a royal wedding IMO). It looked really good too! I think Maxima and WA's wedding cake is alright until you get to the ribbon-looking thingy at the top. It's not asthetically pleasing and doesn't accent the cake nicely. I'm sure it was good though!

Do the engaged couple get to choose what kind of wedding cake they have? Such as the flavor of the cake and it's decorations. Or is it up to the sovereign?

To the people who were arguing that Hamzah and Noor's wedding cake could not possibly have been real, because it was so "smooth and didn't wiggle":

They more than likely used fondant icing on it. Fondant is not actually an icing, but a paste made of sugar [and it doesn't taste too good, IMO], and is incredibly smooth- in fact, it is not actually spread onto the cake, but "draped" over it, pressed and cut to fit.
I'm posting some pictures so you can see fondant in action.
Lollies!

i read somewhere that a rather funny thing happened to them while cutting the cake. They had trouble cutting through it because as it turns out, the bottom layer was just cardboard and nobody had told them.

Great picture!

Previously planned or completely spontaneous, I don't know. But was definitely a great idea to cut the cake like this!

 

[Princess_Beatrix]

Wow...Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia's cake is certainly unique.
Not that pretty though.

That's what I thought, too. It actually does not even look like a cake. Interesting thing.

This is the impressive wedding cake of Donna Lavinia, dei Principi Borromeo, and John Philip Elkann. It reproduces the Lingotto (the famous building on the "Via Niza", in Turim, where once was placed the huge car factory of Fiat, company owned by the groom) and the unicorn (the heraldic symbol of the Borromeo clan):

What a wonderful looking cake! I wonder how long it took to bake and then decorate it?

Elsa...thank you for sharing!

 

[LadyK]

[HRH Kerry]

OMG!!! That's a bit over the top! Wonder if the top was edible?

What's the red stuff on the cake?

The red stuff is berries. On top of the cake, instead of the classic groom and bride, it was placed a replica of the Palace of Pedralbes (where the reception took place) made in white chocolate. The red round thing that we see in each of the four levels are the arms of the Spanish Royal House, also made in coloured chocolate. The cake was made by 13 people, under the orders of Oriol Mardem.
This large wedding cake however was just for decoration and to be cut by the couple. To each of the guests it was served a small individual replica...

Here's the wedding cake of Infanta Elena and Jaime de Marichalar. It was made by 8 employees of Embassy (a famous pastry shop found in 1931), following the instructions given by the Infanta herself. It was made of merengue and wild berries. This large wedding cake however was just made to be cut by the couple; to each of the guests it was served a small individual pie.
