A dedicated cake maker from Scotland recently embarked on round trip totalling more than 2,000 miles in order to provide a wedding cake for a rich Scottish business man.

Paul Bradford of Truly Scrumptious based in Linlithgow, Lothian’s hopped on a plane and jetted off to the town of Monte Carlo in Monaco to make a cake for the business man who claimed that he was unable to find the right fruit cake for his 12 tiered wedding cake.

The un-named Scottish tycoon footed the bill, inclusive of travel costs, which totalled thousands of pounds to ensure that he had the perfect cake for his big day.

When he arrived in Monaco, Paul worked tirelessly in the kitchens of globally renowned hotel, Hotel de Paris, and spent more than 3 days creating the wedding cake from ingredients which were flown in from his native Scotland.

He commented: -

“France may be the best known gastronomic country in the world but the couple could not get the fruit cake they wanted there so we were called in.

It was by far the most expensive cake we’ve ever made.”

Truly Scrumptious is still providing in excess of 90 cakes for weddings and special occasion despite the current credit crunch.
