　　The 68-year-old, from Rugeley, Staffs, has crafted jaw-dropping cakes featuring Yoda from Star Wars and Predator, from just sponge and icing。

　　这位68岁的老太太来自英格兰斯塔福郡鲁吉利镇。她曾经以片子《星球大战》系列中的尤达大师以及《铁血兵士》为主题，仅靠海绵蛋糕和糖衣，就制出了令人瞠目结舌的艺术蛋糕。

　　Brilliant baker Carole decided to take on a new challenge after watching one of her favourite flicks and has been inundated with requests from family and friends。

　　卡萝尔是个才华横溢的面包师。看过最爱好的片子后，她总会进行新挑衅，家人和友人们的请求也令她应接不暇。

　　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!

　　卡萝尔说：“我爱好新挑衅，虽然多年来曾经做了成千上万个蛋糕，我还是觉得把片子蛋糕当作业余爱好其乐无穷，在蛋糕中融入片子实在感觉太棒啦！

　　”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。

　　这位狂热的面包师当初和丈夫一起做蛋糕，她和现年50岁的丈夫理查德曾经结婚二十年。什么要求的蛋糕两人都能做，一周能够做出二到三十个蛋糕。

　　Richard does all of the structural work while Carole spends hours on the finer details – making people double-take the amazing creations。

　　理查德负责蛋糕塑形，卡萝尔则花数小时来完善细节，制出的蛋糕令人忍不住多看几眼。

　　Carole said: “We make a great team, over the years my cakes have become more and more popular so an extra pair of hands in the kitchen is great。

　　卡萝尔说：“咱们配合得很好，多年来我的蛋糕越来越受欢送，以是说厨房里有个帮手真的很棒。

　　“咱们家人之间很亲密，以是不用说我也愿意为他们做任何事情，包括生日、婚礼以及任何其他场所的蛋糕。

　　“人们常常问我是否会厌烦做蛋糕，或者想干别的，但我是个艺术家，我不会为任何事换工作。

　　”Our favourite all-time cake is my ‘All you need is love' cake, we can adapt and change it but everyone's always blown away by it。

　　“咱们最爱好的、所有场所皆宜的蛋糕是‘你只须要爱'主题蛋糕，咱们偶尔会改动一下，但它总能艳惊四座。

　　”The most difficult one's to make are the wonky cakes, you have to balance them just right.”

　　“最难做的是‘摇晃蛋糕'，制作时必须平衡得恰到好处。”

　　Carole never makes two cakes the same as they all vary in flavour, shape and size depending on what individuals have asked for。

　　卡萝尔从不把同款蛋糕做两遍，她总会根据客人需求变换一下口味、形状和大小。

　　She said: “People come to me with ideas and visions and I do my best to make them as accurate as possible。

　　她说：“人们来找我时总有自己的想法和希望，我会尽可能准确地再现这些东西。
