A 27 Year Old Piece of Royal Wedding Cake Sells For £1000
A piece of wedding cake from the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales has sold at auction for £1,000.
An official five tier wedding cake was made for the Royal wedding in 1981 but the piece of cake so sold came from one of twenty two other cakes given to the royal staff
The 27 year old slice of cake was bought by an anonymous buyer on even though only the marzipan and icing remain.
It was originally given to Moyra Smith, a member of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s household at Clarence House, who preserved the topping in cling film and kept it in a metal tin.
Auctioneer Nathan Winter said: “To my knowledge this is the highest price for any slice of the cake sold at auction.”
How wonderful that this has been kept for so long!
It’s a real slice of royal history.
