“The icing’s gone brown and there’s a big crack in the side, but this wedding cake is in pretty good nick – considering it was baked 113 years ago. Made in 1898, this is the oldest complete wedding cake in the world. Incredibly, it has survived a Second World War bomb blast. And despite its vintage, the rich fruit cake inside the ornate icing is still moist. It was originally on display in the window of a family bakery, in Basingstoke, Hants. When the shop closed in 1964, the cake was stored in the family’s loft for almost a century, until it was donated to the town’s Willis Museum.”
