EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the momentous occasion of the royal wedding of King Farouk I and Queen Farida of Egypt in January 1938. The image showcases the immense and ornate wedding cake, a true testament to the grandeur and opulence of the royal celebration. King Farouk I, the last king of Egypt and Sudan, and Queen Farida, his second wife, were married in a lavish ceremony held at the Royal Palace in Alexandria, Egypt. The wedding was a significant event in Egyptian history, marking the beginning of a new era for the monarchy. The wedding cake, a centerpiece of the reception, was a sight to behold. Decorated with intricate designs and adorned with edible gold leaf, the cake was a symbol of wealth and prosperity. It was said to be the largest and most extravagant wedding cake ever made in Egypt, reflecting the grand scale of the royal wedding. The cake was a multi-tiered masterpiece, with each tier featuring a different flavor and design. The top tier was a traditional Egyptian cake made with honey, nuts, and rosewater, while the lower tiers were filled with various fruits, jams, and other sweet delights. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Egyptian royalty and the grandeur of a bygone era. The image captures the essence of the royal wedding, from the elegant bride and groom to the opulent wedding cake, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of Egypt.
