Would You Pay £2,200 for a Piece of Mouldy Royal Wedding Cake ?
Ask a Question
The wedding cake doesn't look that appetising from the photos, but it is 77 years old !
It was gifted to Marion Polson, a housekeeper at Holyrood House in Edinburgh after the marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1947
She very prudishly decided not to eat it, but keep it as a souvenir
Fast forward 77 years and it was auctioned off and fetched the equivalent of £2,200
To be honest i cannot see the appeal of any collector wanting this, you cannot consume it or even recognise what it is
It's definitely a case of having your cake and not eat it

Hell no I don't understand why people would waste that amount of money on anything like this
Some people have so much money they can waste it on stuff like that and others only have dirty contaminated water to drink across Africa infecting themselves with dangerous worms with every mouthful, they are barely existing and any weakness can enable such diseases and parasites to kill them outright for others they have to live with multiple diseases and parasites for as long as they can. Such huge injustice. Not many can throw away £2200 on inedible cake not that I would spend £2200 on edible cake either. I have zero interest in the monarchy though and anything related to them.
Absolutely not but I suppose that’s what it must feel like when you’ve got money to burn like that
I wonder if the person who bought it would like the chocolate button decorated with gold crown that was on the chocolate cake triangle served at a Royal Garden Party that I have in my possession.
No thanks, of rather eat my own 
, I mean who on earth buys this crap, posh people I suppose
The "cake" looks disgusting. I don't understand why the person has kept the cake and not eating it on the day it was given. Regarding the buyer no comment.
Give me a nice bit of homemade Victoria sponge and I'll tell you all my secrets lol.I could get a lotta of nice cakes and posh pots of tea for over two grand.
Let's be honest....how much fresh cake could you buy and give away or donate for that money?
Give joy people now..or save your money.
No, I would never spend that on a whole cake let alone a slice! I can't believe people would.
No chance would I pay that for a cake gifted to a maid!! Bet an American bought it. More money than sense!!!
I mean why? Why hoard it for this long and why buy it. Whoever buys it has more money then sense
If I were given it for free it would go straight in the trash regardless of where it came from.
