An autistic chef has found an unusual use of a sensory bubble fidget square – baking the most minuscule cakes imaginable. 

Natasha Weaving, 45, from Ormskirk said: “As a Christmas stocking filler, it felt somewhat clichéd and a tad patronising. Especially when I’d asked for baking equipment. But despite neurotypicals insisting we can’t, I decided to think outside the very tiny box.”

Weaving continued: “It double functions as a borrower-sized muffin tray. Perfect for a tiny family living in the walls, or a tea party for mice. And I’d much rather entertain a dinner party of rodents than people.” 

Partner Tricia Squire, 39, commented: “Has anybody told her it’s made of silicone? Somebody should stop her before she puts it in the oven.” 

Weaving was later spotted trying to establish whether she could use a Tangle toy to make spaghetti.
