Believe it or not,the world’s oldest wedding cake,dating back 113 years,is still intact.

Though sugars have seeped into the icing,turning it brown,and it has a crack due to a bomb blast in World War II,the cake,baked in 1898 — when Queen Victoria was ruling Britian — is still moist,’The Sun’ reported.

The four-tier cake was displayed at a bakery until it closed in 1964,then kept in an attic before being given to the Willis Museum in Basingstoke,Hants.

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 unmarried daughter donated it towards the end of her life,fearing someone would find it and think she had been jilted at the altar.”
