You Can Buy Donald and Melania Trump’s Stale Wedding Cake — But It’s Going to Cost You

If you’re in the market for some Donald Trump memorabilia, look no further than RR Auction—and maybe examine your priorities. The auction includes a cake from Donald and Melania Trump’s January 2005 wedding. The now-stale morsel is expected to sell for $1500, according to Page Six.

As party favors at the wedding, guests were given mini chocolate cakes with white-rose frosting, which was packaged in a white box with “M.D.T.” monogrammed on the top. The original wedding cake was a little more involved; it was $50,000 and could not be eaten by guests because of “the amount of wire used to make it stand.”

Not surprisingly, the tiny version is topped with gold leaf.

They’re also selling a check Trump wrote to a cleaning service in 1990.

The description from RR Auction:

Sought-after souvenir wedding cake from the multi-million-dollar wedding reception of Donald Trump and Melania Knauss on January 22, 2005. Measuring approximately 3.25″ in diameter and 3″ in height, this individual chocolate truffle cake with single sugar-spun buttercream rose and gold flakes was presented as a wedding favor to be taken home by one of the nearly 350 guests, a list which included celebrities like Rudy Giuliani, Heidi Klum, P. Diddy, Shaquille O’Neal, Simon Cowell, then-Senator Hillary Clinton, and former president Bill Clinton. The cake is housed in its original off-white paper box, which is monogrammed in gilt, “M D T.” The box is in very good condition, with scattered stains and back of top cover cut along edges for a custom flap. This 13-year-old souvenir was inspired by the ceremony’s actual seven-tier wedding cake, a $50,000 masterwork of baker’s confectionary. The 200-pound yellow sponge cake was flavored with orange zest, filled with butter cream, soaked in Grand Marnier, and adorned with 2,000 individually constructed sugar-spun flowers—the centerpiece cake was not served to guests due to the intricate wire infrastructure.
