Hello,

Does anyone know of a lab that could analyze a 120-year-old slice of wedding cake for ingredients? We would of course have to factor in oxidation, etc. This is related to one of our school's founders and our museum group would like to recreate the cake - possibly for alumni socials, etc. Thank you for considering this very unusual request.
