Harry Styles bought Taylor Swift 23 cupcakes for her 23rd birthday on Thursday (13.12.12).

The One Direction heartthrob ordered the sweet treats from Chapelford Village's Custom Cupcake Company in Cheshire, north west England to help his girlfriend celebrate her big day.

Co-owner Matt Blakely told E! News: ''A lady called us asking if we could supply some cupcakes. I told her we were busting at the seams because of the holidays. She said it was for Harry Styles, and I said, 'Oh, OK, cool. Send him along.'

''Later, I got a phone call from my wife that Harry Styles was standing on the doorstep. I didn't think he would come to pick them up.''

The couple also took a romantic drive around the English countryside before enjoying an afternoon meal in the George & Dragon Pub in the village of Great Budworth.

Earlier this week, Taylor and Harry, 18, enjoyed a romantic mini break with his parents in England's picturesque Lake District and a day out in Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria, where they shopped for Christmas presents together for their families.

Local eyewitness Claire Dibbs said: ''I was hyperventilating, I just never expected to see them. She introduced herself, she was really lovely. She said they were just here for the day and I think they were there with his parents. Taylor said they were leaving soon.

''Taylor had a lot of bags from Beatrix Potter world - I saw some cuddly toys poking out of the top of the bag. They'd done a lot of shopping. Taylor said she loved the area and said it was really pretty.''
