The Willis Museum in England Has the World's Oldest Wedding Cake on Display
Chalaine Mantha — February 21, 2011 — Lifestyle
The oldest wedding cake in the world has lived to be 113 and is on display at the Willis Museum in Basingstoke, Hampshire. The Guinness World Record-breaking cake was made all the way back in 1898!
The Victorian-era fruit cake is still elaborately decorated and frosted. Surprisingly, the oldest wedding cake in the world is still moist in the middle! The cake is in near perfect condition except for a crack down the middle caused by World War II bombers.
