A cleaning project led Ron Warninger to find an old hatbox he had forgotten about.
Inside the box was a piece of cake from his grandparents wedding. His grandparents, Inez and Harvey Warninger, were married on March 17, 1915.
"I remember seeing it as a kid in the '50s and '60s," Warninger told The Yakima Herald. "It made it through a couple of world wars and another 70 years."
"The cake was put in their freezer or refrigerator, and later, my parents’ freezer,” Warninger remembered. But he never expected it to still be around 100 years later.
Warninger thinks it's amazing that the cake is still around. He said it still looks terrific "because it's literally petrified."
Despite appearances, he won’t be taking a bite. But he does have a plan.
“Perhaps, I can talk one of our kids into keeping it in that hatbox for another 100 years or so,” he said.
