VIOLET CAKES
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose Claire Ptak to bake the cake (a lemon and elderflower one, covered in buttercream icing and decorated with fresh flowers) for their wedding in May 2018. One look at her website, Violet Cakes, and you can see why. Ptak is the wildly talented food writer, stylist and chef-owner of the organic bakery and café in East London, Violet Cakes. Quite simply, everything she produces is perfect.
