This magnificent royal wedding cake, prepared by the renowned confectioner Mr. Bolland of Chester, stands proudly at nearly five feet high and dates back to the grand nuptials of 1863. The colossal cake, adorned with three intricately decorated tiers, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the royal wedding between Princess Alexandra of Denmark and Prince Edward, Prince of Wales. The uppermost tier of the cake is crowned by a stunning temple, intricately detailed with orange blossoms and silver leaves. The temple's pinnacle features a captivating scene of Cupid supporting the Princes coronet and a plume of elegant ostrich feathers. The use of orange blossoms, a traditional symbol of fertility and good fortune in weddings, adds to the cake's enchanting allure. The cake, which was a masterpiece of the 1860s, was created in the heart of Chester, a city renowned for its rich culinary heritage.
