Many couples save a slice of their wedding cake in their freezer. Most of the time, they don’t really know what to do with it — what, are you gonna thaw it and eat it? Save yourself the stomachache and buy another cake!

But if you’re a famous couple, that frozen wedding cake might actually be worth something. Recently, a slice of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s 1947 wedding cake has sold for more than $3k. The buyer is businessman and Royals fan Gerry Layton — and he says he’s going to eat it.

“I will have a third of it cut off and flambéed in rum so that any bacteria will be killed off,” he told The Telegraph. “But if anything happens to me, then at least I will be going out in style on Britannia.”

Passing away by doing something stupid and unnecessary? Yup, sounds British to me!
