A young aspiring baker has given his parents a serious chuckle after he revealed his latest creation, leaving the pair red-faced as it came out in a very rude shape.
Five-year-old Parker Thornton is set to inherit the family bakery in Norwich, so practices his baking three times a week - but his skills left little to the imagination when he innocently made a mushroom-shaped loaf with his grandad Ron Upton, 71.
And when it was lifted from the oven, mum Nicole admitted she couldn't contain her laughter when she was served a phallic-looking treat, but Parker was baffled at why his mum was giggling so much at the bread.

Nicole, from Walsham, Norwich, said: "They bake at night time so they were baking for the next day and they always have dough left so he likes to make something.

"He showed it to me before it went in the oven but I didn't really look at it, then his granddad put it in.
"Then when it came out, he said 'look I've made a mushroom' and I just burst out laughing. It looks like a willy.
"He kept saying 'why are you laughing?' and I called my best friend and my mum and he couldn't work out why we were all laughing at it.
"He couldn't work it out, he wasn't getting cross but he was saying 'why is everyone laughing? Stop laughing, it's a mushroom. It's a good mushroom'."
Parker tucked into a big wedge of his rudely shaped bread the next day with a bowl of tomato soup, and he insisted that it tasted like mushrooms.
Nicole continued: "He wants to be a baker. He loves doing it. He's always there after school. He makes something different every time. He's made a hedgehog before.
"He's always making things and that was his creation that day. He gets his skills from his dad."
