Good enough to eat
Below are photos of the spectacularly pretty cake served at the wedding reception of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and Catherine Middleton). The cake was made by Fiona Cairns and designed using the Joseph Lambeth technique. (Next three photos © Clarence House, 2011.)
Now for a bonus photo! The McVitie’s Cake Company created this chocolate biscuit cake for the reception at Prince William’s request. It was made from a royal family recipe.

Royal wedding tweets visualized
Here’s another cool interactive chart! This one shows Twitter traffic and comments in London throughout the entire wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. (Thank you to Lori and Ross at Tableau Software for this chart!)
Please note: I am posting this because it’s an interesting look at Twitter activity during the wedding, but I did not design this chart and, of course, I have no control over its content. It may contain some offensive remarks.
