Collecting Cake
A 127-year-old piece of cake from President Grover Cleveland’s wedding to Frances Folsom, in a Tiffany & Company box.
There is an article in the New York Times today about collecting pieces of cake made for celebrities. I had no idea this was a thing, but it really interests me. A quote from the article,
"Americans are prone to preserving such mundane and fragile — yet powerful — oddities, and then giving them to museums for public enjoyment."
