Soon-to-vanish Lilly’s Restaurant is serving a wedding cake fit for a princess

I felt that it was only fitting — in honor of the royal wedding tomorrow morning — to finally get over to the downtown Marriott Hotel and taste the featured dessert at Lilly’s Restaurant: a slice of cake prepared from the recipe used to create Princess Diana’s wedding cake (or one of them, anyway — there were several) in 1981.

Fat City has already written about this cake and the mock-up, full-sized royal wedding cakes that the downtown Marriott Hotel’s pastry chef Gus Ruiz created as displays to complement the current exhibition at Union Station, Diana: A Celebration.

But until today, I hadn’t actually tasted the cake.
