PRIVATE jets, huge fees and worldwide fame are all well and good, but, it seems, the quickest way to a celebrity’s heart is through... cake!
When Oxford baker Julia Atkinson heard Hollywood star-turned musician Kiefer Sutherland was in town, she set about baking him a box of her delicious buns – and the 24 star was unable to resist!
Kiefer called in at the O2 Academy on Monday to promote his new country album, and delighted fans by posing for selfies at the Cowley Road venue.
Julia, who runs Summertown-based Happy Cakes, also baked for Kiefer on his previous visit two years ago. She said: “He was very friendly and remembered the cakes from last time. He was very charming indeed.

“He took his time to chat to everyone individually and take photos with all the people in the queue. Some of the fans had been there since 8am and waited patiently till he appeared at 4pm.
“One lady called Sangita came up from London. She’s a real life police officer and Kiefer remembered her as she’s seen him a lot of times – including the last time he came to Oxford. She pretended to arrest him!"
She added: “He seemed to enjoy himself and told me he was sorry not to have time to see more of Oxford.”
