100 hours went into the replica of royal wedding cake
These Lord Elgin Hotel in downtown Ottawa served up slices of Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s wedding cake on Saturday. Anne Donkers, owner of Sweet Indulgences in Williamstown, Ont., spent more than 100 hours working on cake after being commissioned by hotel for project.
“I’ve done a lot of wedding cakes, but this far the most intricate and most detailed one I’ve done. It is five tiers,” Donkers said.
Because their cake was served to guests and passersby, to fresh on Canada Day. That meant Donkers had to put in four consecutive 18-hour days leading up to Canada Day, in order to have it ready. She said she has a new appreciation for the royals after working on the project.
“I think it’s definitely brought me closer. I’ve always enjoyed watching and listening to anything about the monarchy, but I can’t say was die-hard fan. But this has brought me closer.”
Here are few pictures from creation to completion of kind cake.
