Florida couple enjoy wedding cake 60 years on | Lifestyle.INQ

A Florida couple, married for 60 years, is still enjoying a tradition from their wedding day.

Every anniversary they take a bite from the top layer of their wedding cake, which they keep stored in a coffee tin in a closet above their refrigerator.

Ann and Ken Fredericks say they pour brandy over the dark fruitcake to moisten it and break off a piece.

Ann Fredericks told Florida Today that her children are appalled, but she says it’s actually quite tasty with the brandy and has never made them sick.

The couple got married in Nyack, New York in 1955 and Ann’s grandmother made the cake.

The three-layer cake was made a couple of months before the wedding so it would settle.

A local bakery then covered it in frosting before the wedding.
