Clearing out the spare bedroom cupboard this afternoon (I know what an exciting life) we discovered a tier from our wedding cake in a cardboard box. It's been wrapped in foil and the icing seems welded to the board underneath. As tomorrow its the 18th anniversary of Mrs Wingnuts and I meeting we are considering cutting into it. I'm much happier at the prospect of chomping into some 17 plus year old fruit cake than she is. The icing is looking slightly yellow but not obvious signs of anything wrong with it.
Yet again she said ask the collective wisdom on hear. What do you think? Smoother it in brandy/rum first perhaps?

Will I die? Cake content
After 18 years of marriage, will you notice the difference? 😆
It'll be fine, decent boozy fruit cake has a half life of about 50 years
Your wedding cake, you say? That's a good enough raisin to eat it if any... however, be careful, it may end in tiers.......
Remove the icing and marzipan and getting chomping. Brandy or rum on it over a few days if it does seem a little bit dry. No reason to think it would be though being as it’s well sealed with icing.
Obviously use your nose before eating it.

Then hookers. Then vintage cake.
Presumably full of sugar and alcohol. Sugar preserves fruit in jam by killing bacteria, and alcohol kills everything. So I think it will be fine.
While for the sake of safety and possible food poisoning i'd not eat it.
That said....
That video is hilarious. A connoisseur of vintage foodstuffs.
Yes you will die, both of you. Whether you eat the cake or not. Look what happened to Alice when she ate and drank, straight to Wonderland where everything was topsy-turvey. Go on, EAT IT. Or post it to me.

OP, seal cake under a glass dome with a wooden base. Place next to some cut glass tumblers, decanter, glass figurines etc. In a glass cabinet designed for display items. Install cabinet in front room. Dust room thoroughly and close the door until a visitor next visits.
