For the past 60 years, this Florida couple have been celebrating their anniversary by eating a piece out of their wedding cake – not a replica, the original one!
Ann and Ken Fredericks were married on 19 August, 1955 and Ann’s
grandmother had baked a three-layer fruitcake for the occasion. The top
layer of that cake, baked six decades ago, still exists in a metal
Maxwell Coffee House can. “Every year, we unwrap it, pour brandy over it
– because you need to moisten it – and we break off a piece,” Ann said.
“Everybody just looks at us with amazed looks when they hear about it,” she added. “Our children are appalled that we would be eating something that’s 60 years old. But believe me, it’s quite tasty, as long as it’s got enough brandy on it. And it’s never made us sick.”
