A bakery owner was stunned to discover a giant nine-inch lemon that she claims is 'the biggest she's ever seen' - and it even dwarves her baby's head. Tammy Warren did a double-take when she wandered past the fruit and veg stall at Lackham Farm in Chippenham, Wiltshire, and spotted the 4lb (1.8kg) yellow whopper on Saturday [March 19].
The mum-of-three bought the fruit for £5, which she says is 17 times the size of a regular lemon, to rustle up a couple of extra-special cakes. But during a two-and-a-half hour baking spree on Wednesday [March 23rd] the 38-year-old went above and beyond whipping up a vast array of treats.
Using the colossal citrus, Tammy made a lemon and blueberry cake, lemon cupcakes, lemon cake pops and a lemon drizzle loaf. The creative mum then turned her hand to lemon syrup, lemon marmalade, fresh lemonade, lemon curd, candied lemon peel and frozen lemon segments for 'lots of gin and tonics'.
