Louise Hurst and Hayley Mills, of Cake Sparkle, were given the chance to create the confection after their tutor Julie Orton handed them her business.

Louise said: “Making the cake is a really good opportunity for us.

“I remember the clowns being here in the 1990s and Jeremy Beadle being with them. Other places have Birdman-type events, but we seem to be the only one with the clowns.”

Louise, 30, and Hayley, 31, spent two days making the three-tier square Madeira cake to feed 120 people at last weekend’s official reception.
