The caption revealed the dessert was lemon and elderflower, the same flavor pairing made by Claire Ptak of Violet Cakes for the couple’s 2018 wedding. That original cake was noted for its modern take on tradition and was presented at a luncheon in St. George’s Hall after the ceremony at St. George’s Chapel.
Ptak, who once worked under Alice Waters, later connected indirectly with Meghan when the duchess welcomed Waters to the season one finale of her Netflix lifestyle show. Meghan has previously recalled feeling awestruck cooking alongside the culinary icon. Anniversary posts also revisited memories of the private evening reception at Frogmore House, where friends and family enjoyed a sit-down dinner and celebratory drinks.
