Gatwick Police were delighted to receive an edible replica of a police dog yesterday.
The culinary creation, a large Alsatian, was whipped up as a way of saying thank you to the force for their continued law enforcement work in the area.
Gatwick Police shared an image of the cake on social media, as well as a message of gratitude to the talented baker responsible for it.
It read: "Thank you to the member of the public who sent us this amazing cake with a message of appreciation for the work we do."
And it is not just Sussex Police's human workforce who have been busy over the last few months.
