it was dismantled and thrown on a compost heap. it had been under studio lights for quite a while so for health and safety reasons it couldnt be eaten.

they threw it in the bin - what a waste they should have given it to the homeless or all those little children in hospital

Given that it probably took 2 weeks to make l imagine they just threw it in the bin because most of it was mouldy .

A lot of food stuff that is made for TV is not quite what it appears. It has things such as spray paint added to it, so that the colours show up, l have even heard of motor oil being painted onto chicken to give it the golden brown colour.

Then u have the possibility of food poisening from the food being under hot studio lights all day.

So l would imagine that answer was that the cake went into the bin. Shame really, as the cake is very clever, pitty it is of a Skoda!

What a brilliant ad that is. I'd be interested to know how much it has boosted Skoda sales by. Quite a lot l should imagine as a lot of people seem to be talking about it.
Whoever had the idea for the advertisement is a genius.

Clare Grotefeld, cake fabricator, explains that it took a team of eight people a week to mould the car, & three days to pour the rice crispies

Sarah Tildesley, home economist, provided advice & on-site baking direction for the team. Her recipes involved 10 kg white chocolate chunks, 3 kg orange peel strips, 1 kg Angeliques, 12.5 kg raspberry jam, 100 kg wheat flour, 100 kg caster sugar, 20 kg glacier cherries, 30 kg brown almonds, 20 kg raisins, 25 kg dried apricots, 5 kg cacao powder, 180 fresh eggs, 42 kg chocolate fudge, 180 kg orange sugar paste, 90 kg brown sugar paster, 40 kg black sugar paste, 50 kg white sugar paste, 200 kg cake margarine sun cup, 270 kg icing sugar atlas, & 40 kg mil calets

The Skoda team thought about giving the car cake away to local charities after the shoot but found it impossible due to the effect of studio lights over several days. It would have posed a health & safety risk if eaten. Some car parts, such as the marzipan wing-mirrors, chocolate speedometer, wafer engine fan & the Fabia badge icing, were preserved & vacuum packed to be held as mementos of the production.

The cake itself was composted at the East London Community Recycling Project in Clapton, a project set up to provide local residents & members with quality compost for use on their gardens or allotments
