Why Kate and William Served Their 7-Year-Old Wedding Cake at Prince Louis' Christening

Let them eat 7-year-old cake!

Guests who attended Prince Louis’s christening on Monday were served tea and fruit cake, which was originally baked for and served at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011.

While some Americans preserve the top tier of their wedding cake to eat on their first anniversary, the British custom is to serve the wedding cake each time a child of the couple is christened.
