The cake will have a sweet buttercream frosting with tangy lemon curd. The Kensington Royal and Family Twitter accounts shared updates on the cake: It will be made of “200 Amalfi lemons, 500 organic eggs, and ten bottles of Sandringham Elderflower Cordial.” Meghan Markle previously interviewed Chef Ptak on her now-defunct blog, The Tig. It was also previously believed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were going for a banana cake.
