I dont know if you knew, but there is a Royal wedding happening this weekend. It hasn't been really widely publicized so it might have slipped your attention. (this would be a perfect time for that sarcasm font)
Apparently, a handsome young prince is going to marry his commoner fiance who will then someday be queen and they will all live happily every after.
I heard that the wedding is set to cost $32-$60 million.
That really doesnt have anything to do with anything, I just think its fascinating.
You may remember this little hydrangea cake I did.
Or maybe even my rose cake.
I decided to just put them together and see what happened.
I dont know! What do you think???
Anywho… I wanted to dedicate this cake to some very special people.
This cake is dedicated to all of the ladies who planned their wedding for this weekend. To every woman who has ever had the dream of being the center of attention for just one day, of looking like a princess, of feeling like she was living her very own fairy tale.
This cake is just for you.
I hope no one is sneaking glances at their iphone as you walk down the aisle.
I hope no one misses the ceremony because they are watching Joan Rivers recap of the days fashions.
I hope the day is all about you and just you.
And if its not, give me a holla. I will send ya some cake. 
*Just for the record, in no way do I think this cake is Royal Wedding worthy. I cant wait to see the actual Royal Cake!
*****
I added this cake to the round up over at I'm Loving It. You cn also add something that you are lovin!
Fabulously beautiful! With a brim, it could almost be a hat for that wedding you speak of
I love it! It looks so delicious!
so pretty!! I love it
Just Beautiful!
I don’t have a TV so I actually had to Google the Royal Wedding to see when it was.
a cake for a queen!
Oh my gosh…I love it!!!!! I love everything you make!
At least they’re getting married on Friday, instead of Saturday, so there are fewer brides to overlap! They’ll get to have their OWN day on Saturday!
LOVE the cake…I’ve made the rose cake…now I have to figure out the hydrangeas!
Gorgeous!!
I.love it. You have an amazing talent to take ordinary. ND MAKE IT EXTRAORDINARY every single time. Its is wedding worthy. Love
Beautiful! Well done
beautiful!
I made the rose cake for an event at my sons school and they told me it looked like a weedding cake…this would have blown them away!
Lovely! So simple but so fun.
Well I think put together they look good enough for royalty!
What a beautiful heartfelt post for all the princess brides out there. Lovely looking cake. The two designs compliment each other nicely.
This is STUNNING.
This is gorgeous.. I decorated a cake recently with the rosettes! I love em.. but now I’ve got to try out those hydrangeas! Are they buttercream or royal icing??
This is truly beautiful. I am amazed by your talent. Can’t wait to see what’s next
You did it again! This one is too pretty to eat!
Oh Amanda…another beautiful creation – and I think it is absolutely royal ready! Those kids would be lucky to have a cake created by you! I love the thoughts beyond the cake for all the ladies getting married this weekend! Here’s wishing all those ladies much love and much happiness….and much cake!
Wow! I think it looks amazing! Love, love, love the roses. You’re so talented.
That cake is drop dead gorgeous.
I absolutely LOVE all of your cakes and this one is certainly no exception. Amazing work!
Wonderful cake! I love it!
Another gorgeous cake! I love that you “married” the two flower cakes together.
Perfection !
It’s truly fit for a princess!!
Haha, you crack me up! I would have LOVED this cake at my wedding, it’s beautiful! Hey, you should recreate the groom’s cake in your spare time (ha!) between now and the wedding – a chocolate biscuit cake filled with cookies!!!
I would prefer this cake to many a wedding cake I see…all starchy looking and perfect but seem like they would be totally tasteless. Love this. Need my address?
Whateva this cake is totally gorgeous and fit for royalty!!!!
Beautiful!! I would have this as my wedding cake!
Great idea to combine the two designs. It looks fabulous. Love the plate it is sitting on and the sideboard that the cake stand is sitting on too!
Wow this is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I love it!
I think it is absolutely gorgeous, Amanda!!
love this cake…very pretty.
oh my THAT is BEAUTIFUL!! I have had an itching to bake again…just may have to use my “amandaspiration” and get to work!!
How do you find time to do that with a newborn in the house?! 
You are superwoman!!
Blessings, Kristin
Beautiful cake, oh how I love pretty flowered icing! Stunning!!!
Amanda, I think this is beautiful!
Um, I think it’s quite royal. Spectacular, in fact.
Absolutely beautiful!
you are so sweet! and so is that beautiful cake!
I agree that it is quite a lovely cake.
I like the combination of the two flowers.
It has a fun sort of elegance to it.
truly a royal cake!
can we peek @ the inside please??
thanks!
Just beautiful!
I think any princess would be thrilled with this cake! Absolutely beautiful!
That’s so sweet of you to dedicate this to all the other brides who will be sharing their wedding day with the Royal one.
Your cake is stunning! Absolutely beautiful. I raise my glass in honor of women.
Cheers.
Velva
Sweet cake and reminder!
Oh my .. your cake is fabulous. Fit for a Princecss.
awww you’re so sweet Amanda!!
and cute cake
Amanda, this cake is beautiful!!! It would be perfect for ANY special event.
um, yup. I would so eat a piece of that bad boy. I found you through Pioneer Woman and I could not be more happy. My six year old daughter is in love with your cakes and we have had fun already trying a couple of them. Thanks for sharing
I am attending the wedding of a dear friend on Friday who picked her date a year before the royals announced their engagement. Thank you for publicly echoing the sentiment her closest friends and family feel for her.
Just beautiful!!!

Love the cake thanks for the smile. I thought I was the only one wanting to see the cake more than the dress
Oh my I never even thought about that! If I were getting married this weekend I would have totally had it changed! Your cake is just lovely! And I *may* catch a few glimpses of the big to-do but I will have to convince my boys to bear with me for a few minutes with something so GIRLY and BORING
so beautiful and dainty. you’re an amazing baker! i’m a fan
Oh I just love seeing these two together
Amanda you are awesome! This cake is so beautiful and very worthy of all the real brides out there
it reminds me of a really great hat! maybe a brightly colored flower piped in the “band” area would make it fantastic for a tea party or something…
If I were a princess to be I would totally call on you to make my cake – and I would choose this one indeed. So beautiful!
Oh Amanda, I LOVE your cake!!! And I am very engaged in the Royal Wedding this Friday! I love how you integrated two different florals; it’s MORE than Royal Wedding worthy and our two royal lovebirds on Friday would be absolutely thrilled to dig in!!! Will be having a simple wedding party at my home starting at 3am – with full tele on, so it’s going to be exciting as we all tune in and pop the bubbly before 5 am. Can’t wait! Thanks for sharing your GORGEOUS Royal Wedding cake with us. Now, someone will just HAVE to say, “I Do!” when seeing this beauty! How about you make one for my second honeymoon? (same handsome guy) and he LOVES cake! xo
This is so sweet of you!! I’m getting on Friday too and this almost made me tear up! You are so sweet! I’m sending you hugs! ♥
I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. It’s late. I’m loopy. Your cake is lovely, as usual.
Amazingly gorgeous! Best of success. Blessings
Swoon! Love it!
nom nom nom. those cakes look yummy! I’m not having another wedding anytime soon but I could eat those up! seriously, I’m really craving cake right now. thanks :/
I’ve been reading for a while, but thought it was about time I commented! Beautiful cake, as all your creations are. One day I’d like to get round to trying to make the rose cake myself but most of the time there’s just me and my husband to eat my creations, which means most of the time I eat most of my creations – not good for my teeth! Thank you for your delicious blogging!
i won’t lie–it’d suck to have one’s wedding on the same day as royalty. overshadowed much? it’s nice of you to dedicate this cake to those souls.
Its beautiful. My son has asked me to make his wedding cake – said it would mean a lot to him. He is getting married next year. After having a full blown panic attack and laughing nervously for five minutes, I agreed. Maybe if I try to make yours every weekend for the next year I can pull it off. Maybe…

Truly Delightful! I’ve used your rose cake idea several times, everyone loves it, thanks for the great ideas!!
Divinely regal, befitting of Princess Katherine’s sleek modern style.
What a sweet dedication and beautiful cake!
Amazing!
STUNNING!!!!
Amanda….this is so pretty, I could cry. Really….it is STUNNING! And it *should* be the royal wedding cake. It is worthy of royalty.
So, so, SO pretty. Love the combination of the flowers and the all-white frosting. Very elegant!
You may not think your cake is royal wedding worthy but I certainly do! It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Love your cake!
Ok…this is gorg! I love it!
So I just wanted to say thank you for what you did with the cookies. I was just over at Stacie’s page from Park Avenue and I truly teared up at what a very nice cookie bake off you did! We need more people like you in our world. God Bless!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
STUNNING Amanda……..truly stunning! jaw dropping!
Love your cake, Amanda…it’s just gorgeous! I love the white-on-white cakes. The wedding costs for the Royals? My mind can’t wrap around it, honestly! Great post, and thanks!
I want that cake for my birthday…..
Yes, it totally works! So beautiful, Amanda!
Um, can the day be about me even if I’m not a bride? I just want a piece of that cake!!!
Beautiful cake! I want to eat it, after admiring it for a while! Yum!
Love it! Scones for breakfast at my blog and cake for dessert! So sweet looking!
Wow, that is just gorgeous, Amanda. It would make such a beautiful wedding cake!
I think you should haved sent one in to the palace. Apparently lots of bakers are, and they will be sent to different facilities to celebrate.
Yours is up there with the best!
I beg to differ! This is truly a ROYAL cake. It’s simply stunning and definately fit for a princess. I LOVE IT and I Love everything you make! I’m already married, but if I had to do it all over again, this is the cake I’d choose! BEAUTIFUL!!!
For us newbies to your site….is it possible to get directions for this delicious creation?
Thanks!
I don’t know whether i want to wear it on my head or eat it. Maybe both…
I hope you’re not disappointed by the actual royal wedding cake. I hear it’s going to be a traditional English fruit cake. Blech! I’d be first in line for some of that chocolate biscuit groom’s cake.
Either way, yours is lovely.
I just told my girls I wish I knew you when I got married, because I could have had you make my cake! One of your cakes, especially the rose cake, knocks the socks off any fondant cake (IMO!)that are so the rage now-a-days.
What a beautiful cake! I have followed your blog for a little while now and I am amazed how you find the time to bake such wonderful cakes with a newborn at home! I am expecting my second baby any day now and hoping I’ll find time to bake inbetween nappy changing and breastfeeding! You are def a huge inspiration!
B E A U TIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! You never cease to amaze me. You are one talented chick and I love the way you dedicated it to all the brides who might possibly be over shadowed just because their wedding happens to fall on the same weekend as the royal wedding. I want to get married again just so you can make my cake….but SHHH don’t tell my mom who made my wedding cake the first time around!
So incredibly gorgeous and such a beautiful message to brides to be everywhere!
Soo beautiful – what an amazing cake! I wish I had this at my wedding : )
Spectacular! Truly fit for royalty!
An absolutely stunning and gorgeous cake. So befitting for a royal wedding party.
It’s breath-taking…beyond gorgeous.
Such a cute post… I would have been lucky to have a cake as beautiful as this at my wedding! Unfortunately, I got married before I knew any fabulous cake decorators.
I may not be able to pull myself out of bed at 4 am for the royal wedding tomorrow morning, but this cake makes me feel quite royal.
ok, i have to ask
where do you get your inspiration? do you see patterns on china and use it? flowers (obviously)? patterns?
LOVE it! i look forward to every update!
Ive fallen in love with this cake!!! I hope that when it is time for my husband and I to renew our vows, I will be such an accomplished baker and cake decorator that I would be able to mke this myself!
just had to share with you…i followed one of your tutorials! you can see the results on my blog.
I gave you props! Thank you for inspiring me.

Well, I think it’s fabulous! I really like them together–it was meant to be. It’s funny, my cousin is having a “royal wedding” themed 5th anniversary party Friday and I’m making their cake. I did my best at making a “royal” cake but this one actually is much better. Have you ever done square cakes? Ugh, I HATE them!
Absolutely gorgeous! So wish you could have made my wedding cake!
My 2 favorite i am baker cakes all in 1 beautiful cake – I LOVE it!!! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous – you caught such a lovely light. I do believe this cake is fit for the Royal Wedding.
This is just so beautiful. I’m absolutely loving these simple, elegant, modern cakes. You make them look so accessible that I’m just dying to try my hand at it. I suspect my results will not compare though. GORGEOUS!!!!!
I think that is a beautiful cake and you have just inspired me to try something
But I will keep it to myself for a little while. haha. Thanks for posting your awsome cake!!
So beautiful!! Simple and Elegant ~ I love it!!
Ypur cake is beautiful! Fit for a royal wedding!
32 to 60 million! OMG! and I’m scrounging to pay the bills this month. LOL! Not fair!!!
Oh my goodness! This cake is totally amazing!
It’s stunning, Amanda. Fit for a King & Queen!
ABSOLUTELY gorgeous
how much would you charge like a cake like that?
Who are you kidding? This cake is totally royal wedding worthy!!
Absolutely gorgeous! You are soooooooooooo talented!
Exquisite, Amanda. And it does look exactly like a hydrangea!
Wow, this is beautiful! Such talent you have!
Amanda it is beautiful! My sister got married this weekend! We have just returned from the wedding. The cake was white with a big blue hydrangea on the top! My daughter and niece carried little Nantucket baskets with blue hydrangeas in them and my sister carried white roses! She will be forever liked with William and Kate (and my sister’s name is Kate too!) On a side note, when my husband and I returned from our rehearsal dinner (14 years ago), it was the night Princess Diana has been killed. Very strange how the world works!
Fabulous work as always!
Beautiful!!!!!!!
I. ADORE. THIS.
Nuff said!
I positively LOVE yr work. I can’t recall how I stumbled upon your website but nonetheless it was just in time for Valentines day and your Heart Cake Tutorial. Needless to say I attempted it with humour. I NEEDED the humour bit because the end product was NOWHERE near your stunning Heart cake creation!! But still edible!
So I frequently visit back to your site and check out what other goodies I could possibly attempt! Loving the hydrangea cake also! Keep up the good work. Oh, and yr photos are beautiful too.
I would love to include a picture of yr Heart cake and tutorial on my blog at some stage, if I may?

We are just trying to plan my daughters wedding ( start saving now ladies!!) Most places have at least a dollar charge per person for CUTTING the cake 200 guests $200 more !! JUST FOR CUTTING and you must use them. I wonder if we do cupcakes???ridiculas…..
Love your cakes I made the rose cake for easter (it was not near as pretty as yours)
Pam
Another wonderful cake from you!
Oh WOW! This is a beautiful cake. Wonderful job. I just made a wedding cake (my first) and it does not compare to yours! I still hope you can come see it and let me know that you think http://willcookforsmiles.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-first-wedding-cake.html

Espero que te guste!
Incredibly gorgeous! I can only imagine how much work that was. And unique too!
i kinda wonder what it would look like with color! The cake is lovely!!
I think this cake is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and I loved this post
My cousin just showed me the link today. I too got married on April 29th and it was the most perfect day even though it wasn’t “royal”
What a beautiful cake.
Thanks very much for this awesome blog post; this is the kind of thing that keeps me going through the day. I’ve been searching around for this site after I heard about them from a buddy and was thrilled when I was able to find it after searching for some time. Being an avid blogger, I’m pleased to see others taking initiative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my appreciation for your work as it’s very encouraging, and many bloggers do not get the credit they deserve. I’m sure I’ll be back and will send some of my friends.
so lovely and so sweet
What a gorgeous cake!!!
I think Kate would have loved this cake… late that night… in the royal chamber… with champagne… Wow!
Hi,
I stumbled across this cake on Pinterest and have been obsessed with it ever since
I am getting married this November and would love to have a similar cake for our wedding.
A friend of the family makes cakes and she loved the picture, but wondered if you provided recipes or some step-by-steps on how you made those beautiful hydrangeas and roses. If you have an opportunity to email me at tam.roberts@gmail.com with some details, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks very much… and I <3 your blog.
Tammy
So beautiful! Your cakes is AWESOME ! Please oh please share what kind of butter do you use ?
Thank you !
Helena
My sweetie gave me my engagement ring on April 29th last year (the royal wedding day). It was coincidence on his part, I assure you. We are getting married on April 21st and I am making the cake. I am decorating like this one, only there will be a third tier (sticking with the roses on it). I am thinking of using dragees on the hydrangeas for centers. Either gold or a pale iridescent. The cake is a lemon-berry bon apetit cake (lemon/lemon syrup/fresh blackberries and lemon curd/Swiss meringue buttercream). I will, of course, make your buttercream if the one from the recipe doesn’t turn out. It works perfect every time. Thank you for making something so lovely, I adored it from the first second I saw it. Any word on where the cake plate is from? It looks like it might be vintage. It’s beautiful.
Thank you! And congrats on your upcoming nuptials! It sounds like your cake is going to be amazingly lovely… those flavors are divine! I cant wait to see pictures!
I actually got the cake stand from my mom and have no idea where she got it! So sorry!
I posted the photos on my blog. The cake was lovely. I was a little disappointed because the background was too close and so a bit of photoshopping had to occur. The cake was so much prettier in person. Thank you again!
I love ur cake.. It’s extremely gorgeous. What nozzles you used for this particular design top and bottom.
Can I use cream cheese frosting to replace buttercream.
tq.
This is a beautiful cake do you have a tutorial? how can you put flowers in cake??? o are hard flowers????
Yes! I have tutorials for all the techniques! Just click on the links.
I was checkin’ out your site today. I googled buttercream swirl rose and found you. Saw this post and felt the need to tell you I was one of those other brides. And thank you, for the cake.
Woooo, girl….this is fabulous. I made your delicious rose cake as a Valentine’s Day present for my sweetheart and it was absolutely wonderful! Beautiful, not too complicated, and delicious!
The cake looks amazing, what tip did u use to make the flowers on the top? I really want to make something like this for my parents wedding anniversary.
How did you assemble this cake? And did you decorate each cake then put it together or decorate them once assembled?
thanks
