Party artistic director and baker Debbie, from Doncaster, said the enormous cookie became the centrepiece at the party.

It was made using 30 eggs, 600 edible flowers and a metre of cake lace.

Reaching 1.5 metres wide, the cookie came with a cast sugar heart for each guest.

Not only that, but the guests got to smash open their hearts using a Louis Vuitton axe to find the hidden message inside.
