A slice of Kate and William's wedding cake ever to reach auction Bids soar to £1,450

The first ever slice of cake from the wedding of Kate and William has attracted bids of almost £1,500 as fans of the royal two vie to get their hands on the royal memorabilia. 
With two weeks still to go on the auction, the bidding stands at £1,453 - but as is customary, the auction house expect a flurry of last-minute bids to push the value much higher by the time bidding closes on 24 May.

The boxed fruit cake, supplied to online auction house PFC Auctions by an anonymous seller, was among 650 pieces of wedding cake given to guests at the afternoon reception of the royal wedding held at Buckingham Palace last April.
The cake, designed by Fiona Cairnes, comes in a presentation tin commissioned and designed by Peter Windett and Sally Mangum.

It is accompanied by a printed compliments slip from Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the 16 page Order of Service from Westminster Abbey which includes the vows, hymns, prayers and blessing from the Wedding.
It is believed to be the first piece of William and Kate's wedding cake to appear at auction, and had a starting bid of £100.
A spokesman from PFC Auctions said today: 'This is a lovely piece of Royal memorabilia, and rarely seen on the market as these personal items are only gifted to close friends and family who attend the weddings
