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.

ShockIng News as Doomsday Clock reveals how close Humanity is to the Doom The Doomsday Clock has been ticking for precisely 75 years. In any case, it's no normal clock. It endeavors to check how close mankind is to annihilating the world. On Thursday, the clock was set at 100 seconds until late - - a similar time it has been starting around 2020. The clock isn't intended to conclusively gauge existential dangers, yet rather to ignite discussions about troublesome logical points, for example, environmental change, as per the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which made the clock in 1947. "100 seconds to 12 PM mirrors the Board's judgment that we are caught in a hazardous second - - one that brings neither solidness nor security. Positive improvements in 2021 neglected to balance negative, long haul patterns," said Sharon Squassoni, co-seat of the Bulletin's Science and Security Board, which sets the clock. Squasson is additionally an exploration educator at the...
