Ohh I did giggle

On browsing the Skoda website I found this, which gave me a much needed giggle right now.

Cake
Škoda has long been known as the maker of exceedingly good cars, but the television advert for the Fabia has put a little extra icing on the cake.
The Fabia is 'full of lovely stuff' and to illustrate the point we've baked a delicious, life-sized cake car that looks just like to the real thing. We swapped rivets for raisins, metal for marzipan and spark plugs for sugar. And the result? Well, we think it takes the biscuit!
The countries finest chocolatiers, bakers and bricklayers were enlisted to construct the scrumptious Škoda and they really have come up with the tastiest model yet! You'll be amazed at the craftsmanship on display, astounded by the ingenuity of the design and dumbfounded at the amount of syrup involved.
Filmed at West London's Shepperton Studios, the ad's life-sized cake car has been causing a real stir among the British viewing public and motoring press alike.
As you've doubtless seen by now, we enlisted the help of the country's finest chocolatiers, bakers and bricklayers to construct the scrumptious Škoda and we think the attention to detail is astounding. From the sugar-dusted white roof down to the treacle-filled engine, the cake car is a close to the real thing as it's possible to get with sponge.
Just in case you're thinking of having a go at building your own munchable motor, we thought we'd give you a full list of the ingredients used.
To build a cake Fabia you will need:
10kg white chocolate chunks
3kg orange peel strips
12.5kg raspberry jam
100kg wheat flour
100kg caster sugar
50kg icing sugar
20kg glacier cherries
30kg brown almonds
20kg raisins
25kg dried apricot
5kg cocoa powder
180 fresh eggs
90kg brown sugar paste
40kg black sugar paste
50kg white sugar paste
42kg chocolate fudge
