A KEEN baker has had her 15 minutes of social media fame after one of her cakes was featured on Thomas Cook’s Instagram and Facebook pages.

The stunning creation by Astley Bridge resident Gaynor Heyes was featured on the holiday company’s accounts after she made the birthday cake for friend Natalie Dawson, who had just started a job at Thomas Cook.

The delicious sponge cake, complete with jam and butter cream, was crafted into the shape of a plane and was covered in white icing and completed with the Thomas Cook logo and a model of the birthday girl.

When it was taken into the office, the team took a picture and put it on the Instagram account with the message: “The best crew get the best cakes!”

Ms Dawson also commented on the post and described it as the best cake she had ever had.

Mrs Heyes said: “I was quite excited because all of these people started liking it and commenting on it. Natalie was amazed.

“It’s just a hobby really. I do it usually just for family and close friends.”
