Marriott Hotel’s pastry chef to re-create Princess Diana wedding cake (Update)

Update: There won’t be just one display re-creation — historically accurate, but inedible — of the most famous of the wedding cakes created for the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and the future Princess Diana, but two of them going on exhibition in Kansas City this month. The update follows the original post.

Right on the heels of last evening’s four-Oscar collection of awards for The King’s Speech comes the news that Gus Ruiz, the pastry chef for the Kansas City Downtown Marriott Hotel, will keep the momentum going for all things British by re-creating the wedding cake — one of them, anyway — made for the nuptials in 1981 of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
