Most people throw out their leftovers after a few days, or at the most, a few weeks. But a museum in England is displaying a 113-year-old wedding cake that’s being called the world’s oldest.
The Willis Museum in Basingstoke, Hampshire, says the delicately decorated Victorian cake was baked in 1898.
The confection has browned over the years and suffered a crack after a World War II bomb blast, but it has survived for more than a century, first in a baker’s window and then in storage, before being donated to the museum.
A recent investigation with a syringe revealed that the fruitcake inside is still moist.
