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.
