A quick-thinking Helsinki bakery has saved itself from financial ruin due to the
coronavirus pandemic by creating a cake that looks like a toilet roll.
The dismayed staff at the Ronttosrouva bakery found all their orders cancelled last
month,at the same time as panicked consumers began to hoard toilet roll. This sparked
the idea of a toilet roll cake made of oat butter,passion fruit mousse and covered with
white fondant.
The first five cakes sold within an hour,baker Uliana Timofeeva told reporters,and
the cakes became a social media hit.
The bakery now has hundred of orders and its owner Saana Lampinen has even
been able to hire two extra people to her 9-member team.
"For us it's a game changer and I am relived because I know all my employees
are safe for months now,"she said.
