Wish they would tell us the flavor.
Neat.
I think I would have eaten it though! 
Reminds me of the "Seinfeld" ep. where Elaine at the pice of cake from Princess Grace's wedding (or someone's) and tried to replace it w/ Entemann's.
It is beautifull, but $2000.00 american seems a bit much for a piece of old wedding cake (no matter whose it might be) Amazing what people will waste money on. IMHO!!

Exactly! LOL - I thought the very same thing - the piece of wedding cake from King Edward, who abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson.
Their cakes were traditional rich fruit cakes, and whilst those things last a good while (mental note to self - I'm actually late making my rich fruit cakes for Christmas - they should be made and maturing by now!), 27 years is really pushing it!
I read in another article that it was a slice of marzipan and icing rather than cake.
I know traditional celebration cakes in England are fruit cakes covered with marzipan, and royal icing.
Ewww....That was a beautiful piece though...Hmmm I bet the actual one for everyone else was spectacular!! I wish I had that kind of money to spend on almost 30 year old cake!! 
Very Interesting though!
) I would've totally bought it! 
I love how the article says the one who bought it wishes to remain anonymous. Wouldn't you, too? Then everyone would know the idiot who paid that much for a slice of old cake!
