Meghan Markle had four French macaroon towers, confectionery designed by Serena Williams at baby shower
Meghan Markle's made a trip to New York to celebrate her baby shower with close friends from The Big Apple and needless to say, everything about the shower was exquisite. Daily Mail reported that not only was the party fit for the heavily pregnant Duchess, it also cost quite a bomb — and as it turns out, one of her best friends, tennis star Serena Williams, was the one who paid for everything.
The shower reportedly had four French macaron towers by Ladurée, the iconic French bakery, which became the highlight of the spread. The bakery's website even goes on to say that the towers "evoke the Parisian glamour and elegance that Marie Antoinette would approve of."
The five-day celebration that took place at The Mark in Manhattan reportedly cost a staggering £350,000. What's more, it was celebrated in the most expensive hotel suite in the country with about 20 close guests. The towers cost £350 and came in a variety of flavors, as you'd expect to from a shower for someone as popular and royal as Markle. The macaroons reportedly featured rose petal infusions along with flavors of passion fruit, vanilla, and pistachio. They were also organic, made from organic almond flour, eggs, and sugar.
The baby shower, that took place on Wednesday afternoon, reportedly revealed that the spread featured iced-biscuits shaped like storks, bunnies and baby rattles. Darcy Miller, who is Meghan's party planner, also showed off these creations on Instagram and revealed that they were designed by none other than Williams herself.
She said in a caption next to a plate of delectable selection of these biscuits, "I was honored to help @serenawilliams with personalized sweets and details for Meghan Markle’s baby shower. Thank you to @jzevents for including me on your amazing team"
