It has taken six bakers five days to prepare the edible piece of beauty ahead of the buzz-creating event which will hold in Windsor Castle's 15th-century St George's Chapel.
An untraditional royal wedding cake
The cake is said to be an untraditional one, according to its designer, Claire Ptak.

According to the London-based baker, the design was more of an "installation" than a typical wedding cake, and that was exactly what Prince Harry who is the Queen’s grandson and his American sweetheart, Meghan Markle, wanted.
[No available link text]The couple decided to buck the royal tradition for fruitcake and instead opted for a lemon and elderflower creation with buttercream icing, topped with fresh flowers.
Ptak says: "When I was first asked to present an idea for the cake I brought a selection of flavours and designs and they made a decision together as couple," Ptak told the BBC.
[No available link text]"You have a really lovely kind of thing happening when you take a bite, which is to get all of those flavours and sensations that are perfectly balanced."
"It is obviously such an honour to be asked to do this because for me I have been baking since I was a little kid and this is my dream," she added.
