Victoria’s cake: historical mass does not establish edibility
Історичне графічне зображення весільного торта Вікторії; не фотографія й не збережений їстівний продукт / Historical artwork of Victoria’s wedding cake; not a photograph or preserved edible product.

Queen Victoria married Prince Albert on 10 February 1840. According to royal sources, the wedding cake weighed three hundred pounds, or about one hundred and thirty-six kilograms. A preserved fragment or historical lithograph is an artifact rather than evidence that old cake is safe to eat: neither recipe alcohol nor an auction price establishes that. The specific 2016 sale for 1500 pounds was not verified here against a primary lot record.
