A SUPERMARKET in Basingstoke is offering royal fans the opportunity to get a taste of this weekend’s royal wedding.

Morrisons Basingstoke has created a £7 version of the cake for the royal wedding, as well as a £25 spin on Meghan Markle’s wedding bouquet.

The cake for the royal couple is being made by London-based pastry chef Claire Ptak using ingredients such as lemon, elderflower and flowers, costing thousands of pounds. The Morrisons take on the cake is made in store using the same three ingredients.

The cake will be made with three ten-inch layers of classic sponge, lemon curd and whipped British cream flavoured with elderflower. The sides of the cake will be decorated with white chocolate curls and it will be topped with a generous sprinkling of pink rose petals.

Morrisons florists will hand-tie their version of the Royal-to-be’s bouquet. It will include pink peonies – widely known to be Meghan’s favourite flower – along with snapdragons and large white avalanche roses.

Ian Daley, store manager at Morrisons Basingstoke said: “Customers who weren’t lucky enough to get an invite but want to take part in the celebrations, will still be able to enjoy a cake fit for a prince and princess. And Meghan has chosen some stunning flowers, so we wanted our customers to enjoy our own version of her bouquet.”

The ‘Wedding Celebration Cake’ will be available from the Cake Shop counter, and the ‘Wedding Celebration Bouquet’ will be available from the FlowerWorld section. Both of the items will be on sale until May 20.
