Skoda Fabia giant cake recycled
Don’t worry! The Skoda Fabia giant cake, as seen on their recent and most talked about TV-ad, wasn’t sent to landfill. The new Skoda Fabia advert sees a team of bakers creating a six foot cake with a combination of sponge, chocolate, jelly and icing sugar. However, the two tonne cake was completely recycled after filming – as compost.

Although all ingredients were edible, Skoda couldn’t have their cake and eat it since days under studio lights meant the cake was declared unfit for human consumption. The UK’s biggest junk collection company, ANY JUNK?, was called in to take it away. The Wandsworth based business, which diverts more than 40 per cent of the junk it collects from landfill, has won a number of green awards for its recycling efforts. The cake was composted and will be used as fertiliser on local allotments.
Jason Mohr, founder of ANY JUNK?, which collected the car from Shepperton Studios, said: “The Skoda cake was enormous, definitely the largest item of food we’ve ever been asked to junk.”
