Oldest Slice of Cake
Image Source: Click on Image
Go to the Alimentarium food museum in Vevey, Switzerland, and you’ll be able to see the world’s oldest slice of cake, according to Guinness World Records. Discovered in an ancient Egyptian tomb in 1913, the cake consists of two slices of wheat flatbread with a milk and honey filling. Estimated to date back to the reign of Pepi II (2251 to 2157 BCE), it’s the cake’s two copper molds that served as a vacuum, resulting in its preservation. Source: Reader’s Digest

That is fascinating, specially the preservation part.

I thought so, too. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
It’s so interesting how they preserve the cake. I wonder if they checked the content.
Thank you for the subject, dear Sandee!
Hugs and Happy WW! Thank you for the Blog Hop.❤️😘
I thought this was most amazing, Suzana. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. Hugs. 🙂
LOVE this and oh would mama like to see that cake!!! Fascinating, your info that gives us so much knowledge that we might NEVER discover. MERCI.
I love these little tidbits of interesting things. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
I’d eat it…….but then I eat almost anything! TEE HEE
Hugs, Teddy
You crack me up, Teddy. You’re most handsome too. 🙂
I was expecting something that didn’t look edible but it’s in beautiful shape!
It’s an amazing piece of history. Happy day and rest of the week, Duke. 🙂
Well isn’t that interesting.
I thought it was. Happy day and rest of the week, Ann. 🙂
How fascinating, Sandee, especially how it was preserved. Happy Wednesday! Hugs!
I thought it was very fascinating, too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Eugenia. Hugs. 🙂
😊
That kind of cake would keep us from eating cake but everything has to start somewhere!
I hear you. Cake isn’t my first pick on sweets, but I thought this was most interesting. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
How fantastic. And great preservation techniques employed. That must have been an important cake to many to be so treasured.
Thank you, Sandee, for the, as always, great information. I delight.
Happy Wordless Wednesday, Sandee. Much love and peace to you.
I’m guessing it was meant to last forever. Looks like that they succeeded. I love these little tidbits of history. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
They sure did succeed. I love bits of history and history in general too, Sandee. I do appreciate your shares. Thank you so much.
How did I not know about this? I love Vevey. I have always wanted to live there, but it is so expensive. I always thought that living there would be perfect, as we could vacation in Italy. It is such a beautiful town! Hugs, Janet and Purrs from the Kitties Blue
I don’t know. I just love these little tidbits of history. Love and healing hugs to you, scritches to the kitties and a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer. 🙂
That really is pretty amazing!
I thought so too. A cake lasting that long is most amazing. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Around here, cake only lasts a few minutes.
I know and especially if it’s chocolate. I’m with you. 🙂
Definitely don’t want to taste that. 🙂 Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
I don’t want to taste to it either, but it’s am amazing fact. You’re welcome for hosting. I love my hops. You have a nice day too, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. 🙂
We’re amazed that it could be preserved like that!
I was too. Someone knew what they were doing. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Wow!! How cool!
I thought so too. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
That’s wild. I did know about this one, but not where it is being kept. Amazing how long something can last when kept in a vacuum state.
I thought this was very amazing. Happy WW and rest of the week. Thank you for hosting. 🙂
Intriguing info about the first cake ~
Hugs and love to you from me and Ziggy ~ xo
It was an amazing tidbit. I love these kinds of slices of history. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
Well now, that’s something new that I didn’t know!
That makes two of us. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That’s amazing! And interesting to learn there is such a thing as a food museum. Thank you, Sandee! Happy Wednesday. 😀
They made it to last forever. Amazing. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Debbie. Thanks for linking up. 🙂
That’s amazing! The honey probably helped – it never goes off!
You’re right about that, Keith. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂
That’s so fascinating. I wonder if the Egyptians could have imagined that technique would keep the cake for this long? Thanks for hosting, Sandee. Happy Wednesday! 🙂
They probably did. Amazing. You’re welcome for the hosting. I enjoy my three hops. Happy Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
Amazing, and so interesting? Thank you, Sandee, for the weekly linkup party. Happy #WW.

Anything to do with food and I’m in. Scritches tot he kitties. 🙂
WOW that is something….that cake is truly mummified.
Hugs Cecilia
It sure is, my friend. Love and hugs to you and Kit and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
A food museum…who woulda thought? Fortunately, this piece of cake does not sound appetizing to me!
I want to go, too. I’ll pass on that cake as well. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Glad to know about Alimentarium food museum, interesting.
Thanks a lot for hosting WW.
I thought so too. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
Sandee, we can’t find that cake, someone must have eaten it😹Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞
I didn’t see a picture of it, but it’s in the food museum. Happy WW. Double Pawkisses to the kitties and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
A 4000 year old slice of cake…it might be still good. lol Seriously, are there any images of it? That would be interesting to see.
I’ll pass on trying it. I love food, but not food that old. Happy WW and thanks for playing along. 🙂
THat is wild!! Gorgeous building! #MuralMondays
Very. Have a fabulous Wednesday and rest of the week, Lydia. 🙂
Everybody loves sweets, it seems, and always has. I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great week. Scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeaker.
I know I love sweets. Gelato and chocolate cake. Way too much. You and Mr. Sweetie have a great day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
How interesting about the cake and the museum! I love museums and a food one sounds like fun. Happy Wednesday!
I would love to visit this museum. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
That is amazing, but I don’t think I want a slice! I forgot it was Wednesday yesterday, and then we had visitors all day so I had to give it a miss this week.
I don’t want a slice either, but it’s very interesting. Happy rest of the week, Jackie. 🙂
Whoa…that’s really impressive! Thanks for sharing. Hoping the rest of the week is well preserved with good memories.
I thought so too. Happy day and weekend. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
