The McVitie's Cake Company has been asked to make a chocolate biscuit cake for the reception, as well as a few hundred slices for the buffet. Apparently, this type of cake is a favorite of Prince William. The chocolate biscuit cake will also be featured with a traditional multi-tiered wedding cake.

McVitie's has a long history with the royal family, dating back to the wedding of King George V and Queen Victoria, and just recently Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip's 60th wedding anniversary in 2007.

Prince William's cake, plus the slices for the buffet, will equal out to 17 kilograms--i.e., more than 30 pounds to the metric-averse--of chocolate and approximately 1,700 McVitie's Rich Tea biscuits.

Translation: that's a whole lot of fancy British dessert.
