Bridie West got more than 135,000 likes on TikTok after creating edible version of location used in Cameron Diaz Christmas romcom
A cake baker from Essex has gone viral on TikTok after making an “entirely edible” version of the cottage from the Christmas film The Holiday.
Bridie West, 30, said it took a day and a half to bake and decorate Rosehill Cottage, which features in the festive movie starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black.
West said the vanilla sponge cake – complete with detailed decorations such as a picketed gate, foliage in the garden, a Christmas wreath on the door and a dusting of snow – was originally made for display purposes on her Instagram and TikTok social media platforms.
But she said it was “so lovely” when one of her customers requested to buy it with the intention of using it as a Christmas decoration for years to come.
“As soon as I put it on Instagram, someone messaged me asking if they could buy it – but she’s not going to cut into it, she’s going to keep it as a Christmas decoration instead,” West, from Brentwood, told the PA news agency.
“She said: ‘If I have it out over Christmas and then put it in a box and store it somewhere cool, can I keep it for however many years? – it’s so lovely.
