A slice of Queen Victoria’s wedding cake was sold at an auction in Exeter for hundreds of pounds.

The 182-year-old plum cake is still in its original postage wrapping paper, with a palace wax seal on the back.

It came in a box labeled “The Queen’s Bridal Cake, Buckingham Palace, Feb 10, 1840.”

Brian Goodison-Blanks, the auctioneer, said he was pleased when he saw it and knew it would be popular with many people.

“Even though the cake was pretty dry, it still had a faint cake aroma,” he added.

“You can’t get any closer to history than that—this is a piece of cake from Queen Victoria’s wedding.”

The slice of cake was originally sent to a Scottish advocate and historian and passed down through his family for hundreds of years before selling for £700—more than twice its estimated price.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha tied the knot at St. James’s Palace in London.

They had a 14-inch, three-tiered wedding cake that weighed 300 lbs and was a whopping ten feet wide.

The auction house has advised the buyer not to eat the cake.
