Leeds 'legend' answers viral call to deliver birthday cake ordered 250 miles away by mistake

A cake maker says she has been left 'astounded' after a thoughtful Leeds man delivered a birthday cake to a customer who mistakenly ordered it from more than 250 miles away.

Wendy Neary, who runs Wendy's Cakes, Bakes & Makes in Rothwell, said she received an order for a customised 60th birthday cake from a man who wanted to surprise his wife on her special day. Wendy said she and her customer, Ian Cameron, agreed on a design and arranged for him to collect the cake on Wednesday (July 27).

But the cake maker woke up to a message from Ian explaining that he had mistakenly ordered the cake from 254 miles away in Fife, Scotland, after getting her details from Google. "Last night (Tues) I completed the cake and emailed him saying he could collect it at 10am this morning (Weds). I also gave him my full address," said Wendy.
