World’s Oldest Wedding cake. 113 Years old.

The cake which was baked 113 years ago has now got brown icing because the sugars have seeped through to the surface.

It also has a crack in its side due to vibrations from a bomb blast during the second world war.

But tests with a syringe have shown the rich fruit cake inside the ornate icing is still moist – although not edible!

The four-tier cake was orginally displayed in a family bakery until it closed in 1964, then kept in an attic before being donated to the Willis Museum in Basingstoke, where it has just gone on show.

It was given to the museum by the baker’s daughter.
