The wedding is upon us! Wills and Kate will be married in London on April 29,2011 at 11:30am (that's 6:30am EST - yikes). While the world is fawning over Kate Middleton's grace and Prince William's budding regal charms, I'm most worried about the food.
Apparently, the official wedding cake will be a fruitcake.

Royal Wedding Cakes Face Off: Fruitcake Versus Cookie Cake
Will this cake resemble the dense fruitcakes we enjoy at Christmas? Traditional - by American standards - fruitcakes seem oddly rustic for a refined royal event. Will it be frosted or syrup-glazed? If glazed, how would one decorate the cake?
Perhaps wedding fruitcakes dwell in that odd British desert realm of "pudding" whereupon there are hundreds of variations. In my mind, I envision a much lighter type of fruit-studded cake like an Italian panettone. (Though, truthfully, panettone reminds me much more of bread than cake in consistency and sweetness.)
Stay tuned food fans! I'm on the case.
