How to Celebrate the Royal Wedding
For those of us who didn’t make the guest list for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Dunkin’ Brands has prepared special treats to help you celebrate the occasion in “tasteful” style at home or work.
Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, has unveiled the new Royal Wedding Donut, and sister brand Baskin-Robbins, a leading chain of ice cream specialty shops, has introduced a commemorative Royal Wedding Ice Cream Cake.
When she marries Prince William, Kate Middleton will join the ranks of Princess Grace of Monaco and Queen Rania of Jordan as one of the most beautiful royals in history, according to a survey. Miss Middleton came in third in the poll, beating the late Diana, Princess of Wales who followed in fourth place. (Read: Kate or Diana: Who’s More Beautiful?)
The Dunkin’ Donuts Royal Wedding Donut is a heart-shaped donut filled with jelly and topped with vanilla icing and a chocolate drizzle.
The heart signifies the love between Prince William and Catherine, and the donut is filled with jelly to represent how their lives are to be ever-filled with happiness.
The white frosting is reminiscent of the traditional white wedding gown, and the chocolate drizzle is symbolic of William’s love for chocolate.
