Mr Kipling has made royal wedding cakes for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s big day – but you’ll have to be quick

The bakery is launching three types of cakes to celebrate the occasion - the bridal fancies, the princely pies and wedding whirls, all for £1 each

BRITISH favourite Mr Kipling is celebrating the royal wedding with three new bridal-themed cakes.

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie-the-knot in May, we'll be tucking into a selection of bridal fancies, princely pie and wedding whirls.

Of course, they're the popular favourites with a celebratory twist.

The bridal fancies are a take on the popular French fancies. They're still made from the light and fluffy vanilla sponge but covered in a smooth, pure white fondant.

The princely pies are really just apple pies that have simply been re-packaged in a Union flag box.

The same goes for the wedding whirls which are actually just Viennese whirls.

 The apple pies have also been given new packaging and dubbed the Princely pies

The packets of cakes all cost £1 each and come in batches of six - apart from the bridal fancies that have eight in a box.

They're actually not too bad value for money, considering a box of Viennese whirls normally cost around £1.60, although you can get them for 75p on offer at Iceland.
