I never know where to put things which touch just lightly on WAM. Anyway, here goes.
"Ludovico Sforza wanted to do something out of the ordinary for his wedding to the princess Beatrice d'Este so he had da Vinci create an edible 200-foot-long altar, complete with chairs made of cake and polenta. With everything in place the eve of the wedding, droves of astonished rats feasted on the wedding site, the one thing da Vinci did not account for in his calculations. The wedding was postponed until da Vinci had time to bake a new altar."

I have so many questions about this, e.g., did the cake chairs make a reappearance?
I love this! Thank you for sharing.. it reminds me of the bit in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when the Prince made a palace out of chocolate for his wife (and then it melted.. )
I would love to try something like this in real life.
