• BBC One Show Wedding Cake
  • Oldest Wedding Cake

Yesterday afternoon our 1890s wedding cake, usually found at the Willis Museum in Basingstoke, made a special journey to London to appear on BBC One's The One Show.

Programme Project Manager Jaane Rowehl accompanied the cake on air to tell the One Show team the story behind it and how the cake managed to survive to the present day.

Guests comedians Jon Richardson and Jo Brand tried to guess the age of the cake - skip to 45.00 on the BBC iPlayer to see how they got on and hear more about the cake!
