Second slice of Royals Kate and Wills’ wedding cake goes up for auction

After raising a staggering £1,917 the first time it appeared at auction, another piece of cake from the iconic wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is set to go under the hammer. The boxed fruit cake, supplied to online auction house PFC Auctions by an anonymous seller, was among 650 pieces of wedding cake given to guests at the afternoon reception of the royal wedding held at Buckingham Palace last April. The cake, designed by Fiona Cairnes, comes in a presentation tincommissioned and designed by Peter Windett and Sally Mangum.
 
 Three other slices of royal wedding cake are also set to be sold at the same auction - a piece of the Royal wedding cake from the 1981 marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, one from the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson in 1986 and a slice of the original wedding cake from the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips on 14 November 1973. All pieces of cake are reported to be incredibly well preserved.
