Rachel Brown, who has been in the baking business for 25 years, had decided to use the popular site to drum up extra business for her company, Need a Cake, before Christmas.
She offered GroupOn subscribers a 75 percent discount on 12 hand-decorated cakes – selling them for £6.50 instead of the usual price of £26.
Bargain hunters jumped on Need a Cake's offer leaving 50-year-old Brown inundated with 102,000 orders.
