Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently paid a sweet tribute to her royal wedding cake on her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.” The show, which was initially delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires, offers viewers a glimpse into Meghan’s current life rather than focusing on her time as a senior royal.

In the first episode of the series, Meghan welcomed her close friend and makeup artist, Daniel Martin, as a special guest. Despite admitting that baking is not her favorite activity, she baked a lemon-flavored cake for Martin, who has a sweet tooth. The mention of lemon in the cake sparked memories of Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding cake, which featured a lemon and elderflower flavor and was adorned with flowers.

During the baking session, Meghan and Martin reminisced about the tasting experience they shared when choosing the wedding cake, which was a creation of Claire Ptak from London’s Violet Cakes. The duo decorated a tiered “naked cake” together, using a simple Ziploc bag for piping icing and raspberry preserves made from fruit grown in Meghan’s garden.

The Duchess of Sussex expressed her admiration for cakes that are unassuming on the outside but reveal their beauty once you delve deeper, drawing a parallel to people. The episode also showcased Meghan and Martin making candles from beeswax sourced from the Sussexes’ apiary and preparing skillet spaghetti with fresh vegetables.

In the subsequent episode, Meghan revealed to Mindy Kaling that she now goes by “Sussex” as her last name, indicating a personal shift in identity. The series, consisting of eight episodes, is now available for streaming on Netflix, providing a more intimate look into Meghan’s post-royal life.

Through her baking session with Daniel Martin and the recreation of elements from her wedding cake, Meghan Markle’s “With Love, Meghan” not only offers a culinary treat but also serves as a nostalgic homage to her special day. The show encapsulates Meghan’s journey beyond the royal spotlight, showcasing her personal connections and the things that hold significance in her life.
