As Britain gets ready for Prince Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle, Lara Mason, an amateur baker from Northern Ireland, has made a life-size cake of the happy couple.

Mason spent 250 hours making the cake, and found the final result “extremely realistic”.

According to the baker, the cake could feed 500 people and was made using 300 eggs, 15 kg of flour, 15 kg of butter and 15 kg of sugar.

Speaking to Mirror Online, Mason said the hardest part was sculpting Harry’s and Meghan's faces from modeling chocolate.

She made the cake for the Cake International event, which will be held in Birmingham in November, so her design will remain in storage for the next few months.
