The Royal couple decided on a ‘multi-tiered traditional fruit case’ with a floral design and a chocolate biscuit cake for the big day at the Abbey.

The main cake to be designed by celebrity cakemaker and designer, Fiona Cairns will be placed at the center stage at the reception at Bucking Palace on April 29. Cairns noted the Agence France Presse had also designed the cake for the wedding of former Beatle Paul McCartney and rockers Pinky Floyd.

The future-bride said the cake designer is hands on in the preparation of the wedding cake.

"She has guided us right from the beginning and has quite strong ideas," Cairns was quoted as saying by the Agence France Presse.

Cairns stressed her delight for the insights given by Middleton in the cake’s design, since it makes her job easier than when confronted with brides whom she said are in the dark of what they really want for their cake.

The celebrity cake designer said, "That makes it much easier than a bride who has absolutely no idea whatsoever, which has happened in the past. But she knew very much what she wanted and she brought us mood boards and told us what influences she would like us to use on the cake."
