JFK's birthday cake for sale

Call J. Peterman! This unappetizing piece of cake is up for auction right now with a current bid of $2,500. Why? It's from JFK's 45th birthday party in 1962, the one where Marilyn Monroe seductively sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President." From Collectors Weekly:

The piece of cake up for auction is actually a sugar-frosted decoration on cardboard–it was spirited away from the ceremony by a police officer who was part of the event’s security staff. Along with a program from the event, the piece is expected to bring between $5,000 and $10,000.

• [EH]

  I could have swore I’ve heard about this before. Did it sell to the current owners in like the last 10 years? I don’t think I would have heard about it any other way.

• [Webbie]

  It’s an Entenmann’s.

• [jenjen]

  “spirited away” eh? That is to say stolen?

  • [Karl Jones]

    “spirited away” eh? That is to say stolen?

    “Spirited away” is said of kidnapping victims, or others taken swiftly against their interests, e.g.: “Martha Mitchell was spirited away to a private sanatorium, where she soon died.” (Or words to that effect, I forget the exact quote.)

    That cake decoration is JFK mana.

  PETERMAN: Do you know what happens to a butter-based frosting after six decades in a poorly ventilated English basement?

  ELAINE: Uh, I guess I hadn’t–

  PETERMAN: Well, I have a feeling that what you are about to go through is punishment enough. Dismissed.

  Can I do the thumb dance while I eat it?
