On Saturday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their daughter Lilibet Diana’s first birthday at Frogmore Cottage, their UK home.
While few details about the backyard picnic have been revealed, we do know that the kids were treated to face painting and a delicious cake by Claire Ptak of East London’s Violet Bakery, who also designed the Duke and Duchess’ wedding cake in 2018.
Claire has shared a beautiful picture of a cake that resembles the couple’s wedding cake, decorated with pink frosting and three peonies, Meghan’s favorite flower, since Lili’s birthday party on Saturday, and fans are certain that it’s Lili’s birthday cake.
“Might this be the cake for the lovely Lili?” Claire’s followers wondered as she simply captioned the photo with a white heart.
“Is that Lili’s cake?” a third inquired. “Beautiful cake for a beautiful little girl!” exclaimed a third.
While the Sussexes have not released a photo of the cake, they have released a beautiful photo of their daughter taken by family friend Misan Harriman, who attended the casual, intimate backyard picnic with his family at Frogmore Cottage.
The young girl is dressed in a baby blue dress with a white bow in her hair in the photo. Her ginger hair matches that of her father Harry and older brother Archie.
Misan posted another photo to his Instagram account, this time featuring Meghan and Lili, as well as his wife Camilla and two children.
He captioned the photo as follows: “It was an honor to celebrate Lilibet’s first birthday with my family and hers! There was a lot of laughter and face painting going on.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement that they “remain incredibly touched by the countless birthday wishes for their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor,” and that they “were amazed to learn that people all over the world donated over $100K to the World Central Kitchen (WCK) in her honor.”
That’s a pretty little cake. I’m bummed because I would have loved to have made my daughter’s first Smash Cake. Hopefully, I’ll be in her life before her 2nd birthday and will be able to bake for both of my little ones birthdays.
