Some couples preserve their cake for their first anniversary, some save it forever. But for this grandson, he was about to discover some wedding magic inside a vintage hatbox.
Sure, it may taste stale and freezer burnt after a year, but tradition is tradition, goddamn it.
After her husband Harvey died in 1944, Inez Warninger gave the cake to Ronald’s parents around 1960, “because they had a better freezer,” he told BuzzFeed Life.
“I knew it dated way back into the teens, and that I wasn’t allowed to touch it, but that’s all I really knew,” he added.
Warninger brought the cake to his home in the early 2000s, and by that time, “it had already been petrified.” He knew the cake was important, but he promptly forgot where he put it. He was organizing his Yakima, Washington, garage in November when he uncovered the antique dessert on a shelf, perfectly preserved inside a hatbox.
The cake’s layers disintegrated long ago, but that the rock-hard, “porcelain-like” icing is still practically perfect, with just a few cracks. Only a chunk of the “sponge-like” (and still white!) cake remains.
The note was written 10 years before Inez and Harvey Warninger got married.
His daughter Jenny now has the family heirloom; she hopes to preserve it for another generation.
