Morrisons launches its own Royal Wedding cake - for a bargain price

In honour of the upcoming nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Saturday 19 May, Morrisons have created their own version of the Royal Wedding cake, for a bargain price.

The supermarket chain's signature version costs just £7 and has been made so that royal family fans can enjoy a taste of the celebration in the comfort of their own home.

The royal couple's cake is expected to cost thousands as it is being crafted by acclaimed London pastry chef Claire Ptak, who is using three key ingredients of lemon, elderflower and flowers for the creation.

Morrisons' own version consists of three ten-inch layers of classic sponge, lemon curd and whipped British cream, flavoured with elderflower, allowing shoppers a chance to sample the tasty flavour combination for themselves.

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 for an elegant finish.
