Woman Crafts Stunning Cake Replica of The Holiday Cottage 🎂

A woman has recreated The Holiday cottage - out of CAKE.<br /><br />Bridie West, 30, spent a day and a half sculpting Rosehill Cottage from the Christmas film starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black.<br /><br />She used vanilla sponge and buttercream to create the shape of the house and windows and florist paste for the small details – such as the iconic blue door.<br /><br />She used ten piping bags for the creation and was delighted with the outcome.<br /><br />Bridie, a cake maker, from Brentwood, Essex, said: “It came out beautifully.<br /><br />“Some people were really moved – maybe because they are comforted by the film.<br /><br />“It’s magical.”<br /><br />Bridie started baking to help with her anxiety and took her business - Bridie’s Cakes - full time in 2018 and has always had a “vintage” style to her creations.<br /><br />She decided to make her first building cake in October 2023 – the diner from TV show Gilmore Girls.<br /><br />Bridie said: “I love Gilmore Girls.<br /><br />“It’s always on in the background while I’m baking.”<br /><br />She spent two days crafting the chocolate cake.<br /><br />She said: “That was so much fun for me.”<br /><br />Bridie decided to make her own birthday cake in November and spent a day making the dream house from the iconic romantic comedy ’30 Going on 30’.<br /><br />After sharing her creations she asked her followers what she should make next - and they requested the cottage from The Holiday.<br /><br />Bridie said: “It’s so lovely people can be made happy by cakes.<br /><br />“With my cakes you can still see they are a cake but still have a likeness.<br /><br />“It’s like an illustration from a book.<br /><br />“They are whimsical.”<br /><br />Bridie wants to continue creating building cakes and has had requests from clients to create their wedding venues out of cake.<br /><br />She hopes to recreate Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment from Sex in the City and Hagrid’s hut from Harry Potter next.<br /><br />Bridie said: “I see a lot of cakes that are all the same.<br /><br />“I have found my niche.”
