A baker has wowed the internet with a cake inspired by one of the nationās favourite snacks: a Greggs steak bake.
Ruth Hoggett, who runs Creative Cakes by Ruth, created the cake for a woman who got in touch. The customer said that her daughter, a 15-year-old named Satira, was a big fan of the pastry classic.
āLove the randomness of this brief and I had great fun experimenting to make a good āsteakā sauce ā a thin chocolate ganache with flecks of fondant running through it,ā the Bristol-based baker said on Facebook.
The steak bake and the main cake were created using vanilla sponge with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream coated in white chocolate ganache, she explained.
It wasnāt long before the likes on Hoggettās page came rolling in and a fan soon posted a photo of the cake on Reddit, where it received more than 2,000 upvotes.
āYour ingenuity knows no bounds,ā one person commented.
āThat is unreal,ā another person added.
Hoggett told Bristol Live she was overwhelmed by the positive reaction and had one very happy customer.
āSatira loved it,ā she said. āI knew it would be a popular cake ā the novelty food ones always are ā but I didnāt expect the kind of reaction it has received.ā
