World’s oldest wedding cake 113-years-old

This is believed to be the world’s oldest wedding cake — baked 113 years ago.
Incredibly, the delicately decorated Victorian cake, made in 1898, is still in one piece and even has a crack sustained in a World War Two bomb blast.
Despite its age, a recent investigation with a syringe discovered the rich fruit cake inside is still moist.
Once white as a symbol of purity, the ornate cake, complete with its floral display, has browned with age.
The confectionery was originally on display in the window of a family bakery, in Basingstoke, Hampshire, which closed in 1964.
It had been moved to a loft, where it remained for almost a century, until                  the baker’s daughter donated it to the             little-known Willis Museum in Basings-toke.
Museum curator Sue Tapliss said: “It has been stored in unfavourable environmental conditions, leading to the cake heating and causing the sugars to seep through to the icing, giving it a darker colour.
“The baker’s daughter, who was unmarried, donated the cake towards the end of her life due to fears someone might discover it in her attic and think she had been jilted at the altar.”
A delicate operation involving two conservators has been carried out and the cake has now been dried using packets of silica gel to prevent further deterioration. — Daily Mail.
