On Friday night, the social media people for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle threw us a bone and shared the making of their royal wedding cake on Instagram.

Spoiler,it’s hectic.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding cake has taken six bakers five days to prepare and breaks with tradition, according to its designer Claire Ptak.

Sydney Morning Heraldreports the royal couple’s choice of an elderflower and lemon cake with buttercream icing and topped with fresh flowers bucks the royal tradition for fruitcake.

After seeing some of the behind-the-scenes photos of said cake, we have some questions.

See below.

What is the royal wedding cake made from?

Thanks to a very considerate Instagram story from Kensington Palace, we now exactly what the royal wedding cake is made from.

Short answer: A lot of things.

Those things include:

That's one bloody big cake. Images: Instagram.

What is Sandringham Elderflower Cordial?

We need to know what elderflower cordial is if 10 bottles of the stuff is being pumped into this royal wedding cake, right?

WE NEED TO KNOW.

According to the BBC, elderflower cordial is made from 'ethereal' flowers.Sandringhamelderflower cordial is made from flowers grown at Sandringham estate, one of The Queen's private homes in Sandringham, Norfolk.

So basically, it's a sugary, sweet cordial made from royal flowers.

Because normal flowers are for peasants, clearly.

Well hello, elderflower cordial. Don't you look delicious. Image: Getty.

What are Amalfi lemons?

Meghan and Harry couldn't possibly have normal, store-bought lemons in their royal wedding cake.

No, of course not.

That's why Ptak harvested 500 Amalfi lemons. Maybe not personally, the sous chef probably did that.

So, what are Amalfi lemons?

They're from the Amalfi Coast in Italy, that much is obvious. However, the lemons that are grown only on the hills of Campania in Italy - in particular around Sorrento and Amalfi - are said to be the Prince of all lemons by chefs from around the world, The Guardianreports.

Fitting, no?

They're also used to make Amalfi's signature liquor, Limoncello.
