At this point, you’re almost definitely aware that the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is happening this Saturday, May 19th. Yes, it’s true: After months of talking and hearing about it nonstop, the big event is finally taking place! Unfortunately, you more than likely won’t be hanging at the wedding reception at Windsor Castle with the rest of the royal family (but maybe you are, we don’t know your life!). All of us “commoners” will be stuck watching the festivities from home, in the comfort of our own living rooms. There’s an advantage to that, though: We’ll be able to eat all of the royal wedding-themed food and drinks out there in celebration of the event, and there are plenty to choose from.

There is definitely no shortage of royal wedding merchandise out there, as every kind of brand you can think of is capitalizing on the big day by splashing Megan and Harry’s faces all over anything they can think of (even condoms!). This means there are so many different royal wedding food products, from desserts that mimic the official royal wedding cake to more traditional British fare to drinks that will get you in the spirit of things. These products make it so easy to put together the perfect royal wedding viewing party full of delicious fare. After all, why watch the whole thing without eating at least a few treats?

Below are some royal wedding-themed food and drinks you definitely need to try as soon as you can. We promise they’ll take the sting out of the fact that you aren’t there in person!

1. KFC Royal Wedding Bucket

Royal KFC might sound like a bit of a stretch, but this commemorative bucket actually has a very cute story behind it. A KFC spokesperson told Mashable that they wanted to show their support for the wedding after hearing that Prince Harry had proposed to Meghan Markle over a roast chicken — and so the Royal Wedding Bucket was born! It’s just a bucket of fried chicken, but the packaging got the royal treatment, featuring a crest adorned with both British and American flags. Fancy!

2. Van Leeuwen Royal Wedding Cake ice cream

Van Leeuwen, a Brooklyn-based ice cream shop, came up with a Royal Wedding Cake ice cream flavor inspired by the royal wedding cake created by Claire Ptak of Violet Bakery. Van Leeuwen’s delicious flavor is made of sweet cream ice cream that includes pieces of housemade lemon pound cake layered with elderflower buttercream frosting. You can buy the ice cream flavor now and through the rest of the summer at Van Leeuwen shops in both New York City and Los Angeles.

3. Dunkin Donuts Royal Love Donut

If you’re more in the mood for donuts, Dunkin Donuts created a Royal Love donut that sounds truly awesome. It’s filled with jelly, topped with chocolate icing, and decorated with a strawberry drizzle. It’s also in the shape of a heart, which is just adorable. You can buy them at participating stores now through May 20.

4. Walkers Shortbread cookies

Celebrate the royal wedding while eating shortbread cookies that are perfectly on theme. Walkers is selling a limited edition Royal Wedding Tin full of Union Jack shortbread cookies that come in a tin that features a photo of Harry and Meghan. Adorable and delicious!

5. Sprinkles Royal Wedding Cupcakes

Enjoy a mini version of the royal wedding cake flavors with a Sprinkles Royal Wedding cupcake. These limited edition cupcakes are made of lemon blueberry cake and St. Germain Elderflower, and they’re topped with a vanilla buttercream frosting, as well as a mini edible flower bouquet topping.

6. Magnolia Bakery Royal Wedding Cake and Cupcakes

Magnolia Bakery is another place that is aiming to recreate Harry and Meghan’s epic cake. They’re selling limited-edition royal wedding cakes: an elderflower cake with lemon curd, topped with a light elderflower meringue buttercream. More importantly, they are decorated with tiny crowns, which is just too adorable for words. You can place an advance order by calling 1-855-MBAKERY, and these will be available in shops May 16th through the 20th.

7. Ample Hills Creamery God Save The Cream Pint

Inspired by four fetching suggestions in our Royal Wedding Flavor Contest, God Save the Cream is the perfect marriage of lemon and ginger to celebrate the wedding of our Californian princess and her ginger prince. This smooth lemon ginger ice cream is made with pieces of housemade wedding cake inspired by the royal couple’s fairytale flavor combination: victoria sponge cake flavored with St. Germain elderflower liqueur and iced with classic buttercream. Thank you to @lyssie23 for the ‘God Save the Cream’ name, @kadarlikeradar for the irresistible ‘ginger prince’ pun, @alexrqhowru for the ‘Keep Calm and Berry On’ name, and @dakotaskies for being the first (of many) to suggest the couple’s elderflower wedding cake for our mix-in! We couldn’t have done it without you. God Save The Cream is available now for preorder on our website as part of our Keep Calm and Berry On 4-pack which includes one pint of Strawberries & Cream, one pint of Snap, Mallow, Pop and two pints of the royal flavor. And if you’re just looking for a scoop, it will be out in our NY/NJ shops on Monday May 14th. Don’t mind if ‘I Do!’ 👑🍦💍🍦👑#amplehillsroyalwedding #GodSaveTheCream

After hosting a fan submission contest, Ample Hills recently announced their royal wedding themed ice cream flavor, named “God Save The Cream,” which is perfect. It’s a lemon ginger base made with pieces of house-made elderflower butter cake and swirls of buttercream frosting.

8. Black Tap The Royal Wedding Cake Shake

Magnolia Bakery didn’t stop at cupcakes — they also teamed up with Black Tap to create an epic royal wedding inspired milkshake. It’s a vanilla shake with a vanilla frosting-lined rim, and comes with a two-tiered lemon elderflower mini wedding cake covered in white sparkling sugar. It’s almost too pretty to eat. You can check out locations in New York and Las Vegas if you want to try one.

9. Georgetown Cupcakes Royal Wedding Dozen

If you need even more royal wedding cupcakes in your life, you need to check out what Georgetown Cupcakes is offering. They’ve made a “Royal Wedding Dozen,” which features an assortment of cupcakes. This includes Lemon Elderflower (of course, Red Velvet (complete with a fondant U.K. flag), Valrhona Chocolate, and Madagascar Vanilla Buttercream, some of which include the date of the royal wedding in fondant. Too cute!

10. Harney & Sons Royal Wedding Tea

It wouldn’t be a royal wedding without a spot of tea. Harney & Sons is selling a “royal blend” of Chinese Mutan White tea buds with almond, coconut, and vanilla, as well as pink rosebuds and petals. You can buy it here for $3.00.

11. Windsor & Eton Harry & Meghan’s Royal Wedding Bear

If you’re looking for something a little more exciting than tea, don’t worry: There is even royal wedding beer. Created by Windsor & Eton Brewery, this is a special limited edition of their best-selling Windsor Knot, which was first brewed for the marriage of Prince William. It was inspired by the couple’s first public appearance together at the Invictus Games in Toronto. They used a special blend of British hops called Invicta as a tribute to Harry’s role in creating the Invictus Games, and of course, these are combined with American West Coast hops.

12. Tyrrells Ginger and Sparkle Parsnip Crisps

Yes, there are even royal wedding-themed chips! This creation from Tyrrells is a parsnip chip flavored with hints of ginger, sweet honey, and added edible glitter. They sound all sorts of epic. Unfortunately, the limited edition crisps are only here for a super short time and hard to find… and if you’re going to score them, you’ll probably have to go to the U.K. to do so.

13. Strongbow Royal Rosé

Strongbow

Get fancy for your viewing party with Strongbow’s Royal Rosé kit. It includes their Rosé Apple cider, along with a saucer and tea cup that has a wine glass stem. Genius! You can buy it for $100 here.
