Happy Wedding Anniversary William and Kate

Three years ago today William and Kate were getting married in on the worlds stage in London. I was in Chicago preparing the Chocolate Biscuit Cake from my book Eating Royally that William had chosen as his Grooms Cake. Where did the time go ?

This morning I will be on KTXD sharing stories and my Southern twist on one of the dishes served at the Wedding Breakfast at Buckingham Palace. Will post the video later…

Here’s the recipe…
