A budding baker from Shropshire is supplying a top supermarket with her fruity cupcakes – at the tender age of nine.
Kizzy McDonald is behind the new Fabulous Bakin' Boys product which will be in Asda stores up and down the country for the next month.
The Kizzy's Jungle Jumble Mini Cupcakes were launched at Asda's Market Drayton branch after she won a competition to come up with a new flavour and design.
They have banana flavoured sponge with an orange, mango and pineapple iced topping.
More than 500,000 have been manufactured and Kizzy went to the company's factory in Oxfordshire to help produce them.
She said: "I got to make some of the cakes and learnt a lot of new stuff about baking too like a good technique to use when stirring that makes them extra yummy."
The Market Drayton Junior School pupil added:?"It makes me feel proud and it is amazing to go into the supermarket and see me on the shelves."
Gary Frank, chief executive officer of The Fabulous Bakin Boys, said: "What better place to launch the new flavour than the birthplace of its inventor?
"Hundreds of Shropshire residents came to meet Kizzy and the flavours went down a treat with everyone."
