An incredible gran is bringing movies to life - and, better still, you can eat them.

一个不可思议的老太太把电影做活了，更妙的是，她做的东西可以吃。

 
Carole Gregory, a talented artist, creates astonishingly detailed1 cakes by transforming her favourite blockbuster films into sweet, spongy masterpieces.
 
The 68-year-old, from Rugeley, Staffs, has crafted jaw-dropping cakes featuring Yoda from Star Wars and Predator2, from just sponge and icing.
 
Brilliant baker3 Carole decided4 to take on a new challenge after watching one of her favourite flicks5 and has been inundated6 with requests from family and friends.
 
Carole said: "I love a new challenge, even though I've made thousands of cakes over the years, I've found making film cakes as a hobby the most fun - it's been great putting movies into the mix!
 
"It makes a change from the usual wedding, birthday, or christening cakes that I'm used to and the reception I've had from friends and family has been amazing.
 
"They can take me anything from a few hours to days at a time to create depending on how big I decide to make them.
 
"Baking the sponge is the easy part but then moulding it into shape and doing the fine details to make the cake come to life is challenging.
 
"The Predator cake has got the best response so far, everyone's going mad over it and it's been viewed over 10,000 times online now.
 
"Now I'm thinking about what I can do to top it."
