Sponge cake

So it is a sponge! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding cake was a good old Victorian sponge cake. Though it is one of the classics in British baking, having a sponge cake for a royal wedding is a huge shift from the tradition of British wedding cakes. According to custom, it had to be a fruitcake with royal icing.

From desserts made from salad to detailed gravity-defying sponges, the humble cake has been recreated in every possible way one can think of.

The galaxy cake is the latest cake trend that is currently sweeping Instagram, where users are sharing photos of their amazing space-inspired creations.
