| Description: | The royal wedding cake is a triumph of the confectioner's art. Reading, Berkshire The camera starts at the top of the cake with what looks like foliage at the peak, and pans slowly down the four tiers. It is very large and ornate, it is partly in the shape of a castle with battlements, it also has pillars and figures carved into it. People queue up to look at it. (This is the cake for the wedding of the future George V and Queen Elizabeth) | |
