The Salem Witch Trials - The Witch Cake

This is one of actually only two examples that we have in the world of witch cakes. Both are in England, at the Pit Rivers Museum and Scarborough Museum Trust. Witch cakes heyday was mostly like the 17th century; they're kind of dying down by the time we get to the 19th century. People might still carry them around as a charm or use them for symbolic reasons.
