It's funny how controversial a cake-baking operation can be, but James Middleton, Kate's entrepreneurial baking brother, is in hot water again after marketing a range of cakes with risque slogans and bawdy illustations.

He previously aroused the ire of palace staff when he created a special range of 21 cakes for the magazine Hello!, including one with an image of Princess Diana on it.

Actually, James's cakes are pretty funny. We particularly like the one that reads, 'Happy Birthday, Stephanie. I would have baked you a cake myself, but I couldn't be arsed.'
