What happened?

Q: Does any one know what happened to that orange Skoda Fabia car made from cake. It was in an advert.

A: Due to the lighting used for the filming the cake started going bad straight away and had to be thrown. This is part of an email received from Skoda : I can advise that once filming was completed, we would have liked to have offered the Fabia cake to local charities, schools and hospitals. Unfortunately, as the car had been under studio lights for several days, it may have posed a health and safety risk if eaten and we were therefore unable to do this. Some goodies from the car were preserved and vacuum packed such as the marzipan wing-mirrors, chocolate speedometer, wafer engine fan and the Fabia badge icing, and will be held as mementoes of the production. It was decided that as we were unable to donate the cake to charity, the cake was instead recycled. It was taken away and composted, so that it could return to the natural environment. The cake was taken to a place called the East London Community Recycling Project in Clapton. The project has been set up to provide local residents and members with quality compost for use on their gardens or allotments. I would like to thank you for taking the time to contact us. I can assure you that your contact details will not be used other than to respond to your e-mail. Yours sincerely, Michael Canavan Customer Service Specialist
