A quick-thinking Helsinki bakery has saved itself from financial ruin during the new coronavirus pandemic by creating a cake that looks like a toilet roll.
（芬蘭首都）赫爾辛基一家腦筋動得快的烘焙坊，創造出看似衛生紙捲的蛋糕，在新型冠狀病毒大流行期間，拯救自己免於破產。
The dismayed staff at the Ronttosrouva bakery found all their orders cancelled last month, at the same time as panicked consumers began to hoard toilet roll. This sparked the idea of a toilet roll cake made of oat batter, passion fruit mousse and covered with white fondant.
「倫托斯洛瓦」烘焙坊員工上個月驚慌地發現，他們所有的訂單都被取消了；在此同時，惶恐的顧客開始囤積衛生紙。這個現象刺激店家想出以燕麥蛋糕和百香果慕斯製作而成、並在外層覆上白色翻糖的衛生紙捲蛋糕。
The first five cakes sold within an hour, baker Uliana Timofeeva told Reuters, and the cake became a social media hit.
蛋糕師傅烏里安娜‧提摩費娃告訴《路透》，最先做好的5模蛋糕1小時內就賣光，還在社群媒體上造成轟動。
The bakery now has hundreds of orders and its owner Saana Lampinen has even been able to hire two extra people. "For us it’s a game changer and I am relieved because I know all my employees are safe for months," she said.
這家烘焙坊現在接下數百張訂單，老闆沙娜‧蘭皮寧甚至還有能力另聘2名人手。她說：「對我們來說，這是扭轉情勢的一次嘗試，我現在鬆了一口氣，因為我知道所有員工接下來幾個月都不用擔心飯碗了。」
