Home Alone house recreated as Christmas cake

The Home Alone house is in the window of Grace Eva Cakes in Beverley

A baker has recreated the house from the Home Alone films as a cake.

Grace Hunt spent weeks making and decorating the model mansion as a Christmas window display for her shop in Beverley, East Yorkshire.

She said she wanted to make a cake that looked like the Hollywood home as it was "my favourite film".

"Many hours went into it, lots of tears as well," Ms Hunt added.

Grace Hunt said she started out making cakes for family and friends

After posting images on social media, she said the response had been "insane".

"Wild, it's gone viral on most socials," she said.

"I can't keep up. It's mind-blowing."

Ms Hunt set up Grace Eva Cakes in 2018 and specialises in wedding and celebration cakes.

"I just started just making cakes for friends and family years ago and then thought, actually, I think I could make a business out of this," she said.

She said she enjoyed making the buildings which are "technically challenging, but really fun to do".

Previous creations include a replica of the nearby Michelin-starred Pipe and Glass pub and restaurant.

Despite the responses to the latest window display, the Home Alone cake will not be on sale and is destined for the bin after the festive season.

"It will be about three months old," Ms Hunt said.
