While it may be too late to secure a box of Fiona's delicious-looking chocolate sponge cupcakes, many of her other handmade creations are available from just £7. 

Perhaps they will be on William and Kate's radar for an Easter celebration; we imagine they'd go down a treat with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis

HELLO! previously spoke to Fiona at the launch of Quintessentially Weddings' new Atelier back in 2013, who revealed some surprising details about the epic royal wedding cake. 

"The whole cake was — not just the cake, but the wedding — was Kate's idea. It was all her idea. She's a very creative person and that's why it was so special. A lot of people thought the royal wedding was a very grand affair but it was also very personal," Fiona shared.

 Lifting the lid on Kate and William's thoughts on the actual day of their wedding, the baker said: "I had a phone call from the Queen's pastry chef saying that the cake was beyond William and Kate's expectations. 

"So it was then, and only then, that we drank the champagne and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what anyone else said or thought mattered."
