55-year-old wedding cake discovered in freezer tasted ‘delicious’ [Video]

For 55 years, Rochelle Marr’s wedding cake sat at the bottom of her freezer.

The intention had been to eat it on her 50th wedding anniversary, but she forgot all about the milestone.

That is, until she and her son decided to do a deep clean in January and came across the fruitcake along with a note: “Do not open until 2018.”

“It’s been moved from different freezers along the way,” Marr said from her home in Salmon Arm, 70 kilometres east of Kamloops.
