Cake

Škoda has long been known as the maker of exceedingly good cars, but the television advert for the Fabia has put a little extra icing on the cake.

The Fabia is 'full of lovely stuff' and to illustrate the point we've baked a delicious, life-sized cake car that looks just like the real thing. We swapped rivets for raisins, metal for marzipan and spark plugs for sugar. And the result? Well, we think it takes the biscuit!

The countries finest chocolatiers, bakers and bricklayers were enlisted to construct the scrumptious Škoda and they really have come up with the tastiest model yet! You'll be amazed at the craftsmanship on display, astounded by the ingenuity of the design and dumbfounded at the amount of syrup involved.

Filmed at West London's Shepperton Studios, the ad's life-sized cake car has been causing a real stir among the British viewing public and motoring press alike.

As you've no doubt seen by now, we enlisted the help of the country's finest chocolatiers, bakers and bricklayers to construct the scrumptious Škoda and we think the attention to detail is astounding. From the sugar-dusted white roof down to the treacle-filled engine, the cake car is as close to the real thing as it's possible to get with sponge.
