However, the customer had used Google to find the cake maker originally and hadn't realised "until now" that he is actually 233 miles away in Fife.

Wendy used popular local Facebook forum Leedsplace to make a last minute desperate request.

Eleanor Quinn, 33, saw the post and realised her husband was due to travel to Scotland today.

Christopher Quinn, 40 - who works for Medical Imaging Systems - rushed round to Wendy's bakery and collected the cake.

Christopher is now on his way to deliver the cake.
