......Picture..24........

24...This wedding cake was made by Frank Jacobs (Chief Ornamentalist) of J. Lyons who had a most enviable reputation for cake decoration. It took 5 weeks to complete, stood 5 feet tall and weighed 150 lb. The cake was decorated in white sugar panels piped in oak leaf design. The centre of the rose shaped windows contained a heraldic design in transparent colours of red, yellow and green. Princess Margaret's personal coat of arms and the initials of the bride and groom were incorporated in the design. The floral decoration was specially designed from exotic flowers by Constance Spy Limited. Princess Margaret married in 1960.
