Wolverhampton-based baker Paz Heer recently found himself backstage at Wembley Arena after being asked to bake for world famous R&B artist Mike Keith.

Paz has previously made cakes for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cardi B.

His baking exploits with celebrities led to an approach from the multi-platinum group’s promoter back in 2019. On their arrival back in the UK and finding themselves in need of a birthday cake, 112, who rose to fame in the late 90s with singles including Only You (featuring The Notorious B.I.G.), knew there was only one cake maker up to the task.

The band members watched on as Paz presented the surprise cake backstage in their dressing room at Wembley Arena. The cake, a tiered creation with fresh cream and real peach slices in homage to the group’s smash hit Peaches & Cream, disappeared within minutes as it was quickly devoured by the band’s entourage who asked for seconds. Paz said:

“Being asked to do a cake for a group I’ve been a massive fan of for 20 years was a real ‘pinch me’ moment. I’ve bought all their albums, so to be celebrating and serving cake to them in their VIP dressing room was a moment I will never forget.

“It’s pretty amazing to think I have 112 as a returning client!”
