Marriage of Sir Robert Peel and Lady Emily Hay - the Bridecake, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Marriage of Sir Robert Peel and Lady Emily Hay - the Bridecake, 1856. The...superb Wedding Cake...was placed in the centre of the table with the wedding collation, in the Waterloo Gallery, at Apsley House. The cake was six feet in height, and was perhaps the largest piece of confectionery on record. It was formed by three steps; the first supporting vases of bridal flowers, with cornucopias of fruit between them; the next gradation supported ornamental pillars; and the third, which was garlanded by wreaths, displayed shields of the Tweeddale and Peel arms, with their respective family mottoes. A Corinthian pillar, rising above all, supported a large figure of Cupid, with his bow unbent, and holding a garland of flowers. This cake was a triumph in the Italian art of confectionery. It was modeled, as well as made, in the Duke of Wellington's own establishment, by M. Carlo Brunetti'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
