A Magnificent Royal Wedding Cake: A Look Back at the Grand Marriage Feast of Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne in 1871 This stunning photograph captures the magnificent royal wedding cake created for the nuptials of Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, and the Marquis of Lorne, John Campbell, in 1871. The cake, crafted by Queen Victoria's chief confectioner at Windsor Castle, stands at an impressive 5 ft 4 inches tall with a diameter of 2 ft 6 inches. The base of the cake is draped in white satin, adorned with coats of arms, the initials L.L. intricately entwined with blue, wreaths of orange blossom, and small vases filled with delicate flowers. Above the base, a miniature temple houses a fountain with doves drinking, surrounded by statues representing Agriculture, Fine Arts, Commerce, and Science. The upper part of the cake is crowned by a figure of a vestal virgin, and all the figures and ornaments are made of sugar. The intricacy and elaborate detail of this cake are truly staggering, reflecting the grandeur and opulence of the royal wedding event. Princess Louise, who later became the Duchess of Argyll, married the Marquis of Lorne on March 21, 1871, in a grand ceremony held at St. James's Palace in London. The wedding was a significant event in British royal history, and the magnificent wedding cake was a fitting testament to the grandeur and splendor of the occasion. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the intricate details of a royal wedding cake from over a century ago. The cake's intricate decoration, made entirely of sugar, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the royal confectioner and the grandeur of the royal wedding celebrations of the past.
