A MANX wedding cake could well be one of the best travelled confections ever after setting out from the Isle of Man and arriving, not only in time for a beach wedding in Hawaii, but making it in one piece.
The globe-trotting confection endured a journey of planes, trains and automobiles to arrive safely in time to nourish well-wishers as Sarah Williams and Spencer Arnold tied the knot on December 12.
As Sarah’s mother Ann was born in the Isle of Man and her mother and aunt – Audrey Kelly and Myra Kelly – still live here the pair decided on a Manx wedding cake, despite the logistical challenge of actually getting it there.
The 15-pound cake, made by local baker Allison Ratcliffe, took five flights, six car rides, three taxis, one train, two ferries and one light rail.
And 10,600 miles later, it arrived intact.
