Slice of Princess Diana's Wedding Cake Auctioned

A 33-year-old slice of
cake from Prince Charles and Princess
Diana's 1981 wedding has sold at auction
for $1,375.
The cake, still in its original white and
silver presentation box, was sold online
Thursday by Nate D. Sanders Auctions of
Los Angeles.
With the box was a card stating, "With
best wishes from Their Royal Highnesses,
the Prince & Princess of Wales."
Auction house spokesman Sam Heller
says the buyer is a private collector.
Although the cake came wrapped in its
original wax paper, Heller says it
wouldn't be a good idea to try to eat it.
He adds, however, that there is a small
but dedicated group of royal cake
collectors.
Some, Heller says, have purchased cakes
dating to the days of Britain's Queen
Victoria, who married in 1840.
