A hapless Scot husband who accidentally ordered his wife a birthday cake from 230 miles away had the celebration saved after a good samaritan agreed to deliver it by hand.

Fife local Ian Cameron wanted to treat his wife Lorraine to a special cake to mark her 60th birthday, He found the business called Wendy’s Cakes, Bakes and Makes after an online search.

According to the Daily Record, the hapless husband ordered an eight-inch chocolate cake with a rectangular shaped base and a replica of a vinyl record on top. He planned to pick it up before her celebration and rang to organise the collection of the £85 confectionary. However, it was only then he discovered that the bakery was 230 miles away in Leeds.
