This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. 15 years ago, on April 29th, 2011, Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding cake stole the show. Baker Fiona Caron's built an 8-tier beauty from 17 fruit cakes, decked with 900 cream and white icing flowers and leaves, matching the Buckingham Palace picture gallery where it stood.

She pushed for soft sugar-paste icing, no gold, no glitter, no colors, just nods to the UK nation's blooms and palace architecture for that. Classical, stylish, vibe. Caron's admitted it broke tradition and ramped up the stress, but Kate's brief kept it imaginative. To wheel it in, her team yanked door off its hinges, earning a cheeky jab from Queen Elizabeth about wrecking the house, though they fixed it quick.
