A cake featuring a cheeky simian which appears to be holding its penis has been amusing passers-by in Solihull town centre.
But Jonathan Cockerill from the The Cake Artists, who made the cake, insists the strategically-placed banana was not supposed to represent the ape’s appendage.
He said: "It’s not a deliberate thing – it’s actually a female chimp.
Originally the chimp’s arm was on top of its head scratching but it couldn’t support it so I moved it to where it is now.

"One elderly lady came in to the shop laughing about it – we’ve had no complaints."
The chimp, made out of polystyrene, stands around 5ft tall and is covered in sugar paste.
It took Jonathan around a week to make, in between creating the store’s stock in trade celebration cakes.
