Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding cake will be made by London-based pastry chef Claire Ptak, Kensington Palace has announced.
The couple has chosen to have a lemon and elderflower cake, after asking Ms Ptak to incorporate the "bright flavours of Spring" for their 19 May wedding.
Ms Markle previously interviewed Ms Ptak for her lifestyle website thetig.com which she shut down when her relationship with Prince Harry was confirmed.
Ms Ptak was brought up in California and previously worked for Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California.
She moved to Britain and opened her own business, running a market stall in Broadway Market, east London, before opening her own organic bakery in 2010.
The lemon and elderflower cake will be covered in buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers.
Kensington Palace said Harry and Ms Markle are "very much looking forward to sharing this cake with their wedding guests".
Ms Ptak said: "I can't tell you how delighted I am to be chosen to make Prince Harry and Ms Markle's wedding cake. Knowing that they really share the same values as I do about food provenance, sustainability, seasonality and most importantly flavour, makes this the most exciting event to be a part of."
Mini cupcakes at Ms Ptak's bakery start at £1.50, and her wedding cakes are priced on request.
On her website, Ms Ptak, states: "For weddings, we recommend either our vanilla, chocolate, carrot, lemon or coconut cream cake finished with super deluxe satiny Swiss meringue buttercream icing covering the top and sides of a tiered cake.
