ACTRESS and writer Jane Asher greeted her Bromsgrove fans when she visited Ottakar's bookstore to sign copies of her new book Cakes for Fun.

The former Crossroads and Paris By Night star dropped into the High Street store last Saturday to launch the new book, which features more than 40 ideas and recipes for cakes.

Jane gave a talk on how she started writing books about cakes. Ottakar's assistant manager Anne Brazier said: "Jane was absolutely delightful. It was a lovely event."
