Okay this has got to be one for the Guinness Book, right? Ronald Warninger was cleaning out his garage when he stumbled onto a hat box containing the top layer from his Grandparent's wedding cake. You might say so what, but here is the catch. The grandparents were married on March 17, 1915. That's 100 years and 8 months!!! Ronald's parents used to have the hat box and cake in their freezer and then apparently Ronald inherited it. And at some point it was moved into the garage. It doesn't look bad at now. What do you think? hahahaha I wouldn't eat though, after 100 yrs I bet it is pretty stale. hahahaha
And although the cake is now “kind of hollowed out inside” with icing that “sounds like porcelain when you tap it with your fingernail,” it’s just as beautiful now as it was on Inez and Harvey Warninger’s meaningful day a century ago in Crookston, Minnesota.
More than anything, “I’m just glad it reappeared,” he said. “I felt a little responsible for it. It is just the top of a wedding cake, but how many people have those all these years later? It’s just like a time capsule. I hope to pass it along to one of my kids and maybe they’ll keep it for another 100 years.”
