The UK's Daily Mail reported this week that a museum in England is home to what's believed to be the world's oldest wedding cake, still intact after 113 years. The Willis Museum in Basingstoke, Hampshire, says the Victorian-style cake was baked in 1898 and even survived a World War II bomb blast (though it left a crack on its side). It was first displayed in a bakery window and later placed in storage, before being donated to the museum. Amazingly, a syringe test revealed that the cake inside is still moist. One guess as to the type of cake used—yep! Fruitcake! Those things are truly indestructible. —Heather Lee, Brides.com
