We ate the top slice of our wedding cake at the nameing ("christening") of our first child.
That's 4 1/2 years, no refrigeration , just kept in a tin in a dry cupboard.
(old school fruit cake, loaded with alcohol )

(may not have been the top slice as the rest were chocolate and not strong enough to support the weight )

Edit: it was yummy.

dude, that's such a ghey thing to say... and it wasn't yummy imo -fruitcake sucks. But it was edible and probably better than when we got married if you like fruitcake, because of the alcohol. it did get eaten, so maybe some don't share my opinion.

British Fruitcake is somewhat different from merkin stuff, and is the tradition for wedding cakes.

BTW, we had one chocolate layer (because I hate fruit cake) and that was the top one (because it can't be weight-bearing), so we saved the second layer rather than the first.

Then you haven't had good fruitcake. You should see if Ali would send you a slice.

Could be good with a vast amount of really old port.
