EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1934, showcases the final touches being applied to the magnificent wedding cake created for the Duke of Kent, George, and his bride-to-be, Princess Marina of Greece. The towering confection, which stood an impressive 9 feet high, was a true testament to the grandeur of the royal wedding. The cake, adorned with intricate silver pillars, was a masterpiece of both taste and appearance. It was not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a culinary delight, as it contained a variety of Empire ingredients, including Greek currants, which held special significance for the bride's Greek heritage. Seven gold charms were also incorporated into the cake, adding an extra touch of elegance and tradition to the occasion. The history of the royal wedding cake can be traced back to the 17th century, where it was customary for the bride and groom to place a small figurine of a couple on top of the cake to ensure a long and happy marriage. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for Illustrated London News, provides a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of the wedding cake in the royal wedding of George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece in 1934. The image is a reminder of the rich traditions and customs that continue to be an essential part of royal weddings to this day.
