It was meant to be a tribute to that old Skoda “cake” ad. But did they make a Skoda at Bristol’s City Academy? No, my friends, they did not.

Just watch this footage and listen to the glorious words of the academy’s Professor of Cakeology and Marzipanonomy (OK, maybe that wasn’t his exact title):

“I said, well, what sort of car do you wanna make? Do you wanna make an Aston Martin? Do you wanna make a Bentley? And they all said a MINI.”

All! They ALL said a MINI! As well as being rather touching, it was an extremely sensible choice by the West Country students.

Because, with a MINI cake, even if the ingredients included tuna fish, bran flakes and diced pork, it would at least LOOK mouth-watering.
