Hasta La Gadget!

Sometimes you can’t just pick one favorite character from the Star Wars movies. Who says you have to? At least that’s the idea that one baker had when creating what could be the most awesome Star Wars cake ever. Ok, it’s not as incredibly crafted as the full-size Stormtrooper and Darth Vader cakes, but it’s still pretty great.

This single cake combines Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Yoda into a single, epic cake masterpiece. Nobody seems to know who made this amazing cake, but whoever you are, I bend the knee to you. The only thing missing are Boba Fett and Stormtrooper layers but I suppose you could always pick those up here.

You know, I kind of like Claptrap from the Borderlands games, but I have to admit, he was also really, really annoying. Still, he made the game a little more interesting with his stupid banter. He’s just not as cool as R2-D2.

Now this Claptrap wedding cake may not move and say smartass things, but it is still pretty awesome. It was made by Black Sheep Custom Cakes and the details are so nice that it looks real.

“Check me out! I’m dancing! I’m dancing!” Alright, just shut up and get in my mouth. Mmmmmmm yummy! Your dancing in my tummy you stupid pile of gears.

Cupcakes have been an obsession of food connoisseurs everywhere for years, and we’ve seen some weird creations thus far.  The Cupcake Nuggets?  Extremely original – no sarcasm.  Savor this moment, friends, because my posts are generally dripping in sarcasm, and my fried chicken wings are always dripping in grease.  If you can’t make transparent spots in a pile of napkins, you’re not doing it right.

Cupcake Project is the mastermind / evil scientist behind this wonderful creation.  I just have one question: is the world prepared to handle this kind of treat and the power that lives within it?  Said power: 10,000,000 calories that go straight to your sexy love handles and turn them into (still sexy) love safety bars.

So, they look delicious, but what exactly are Cupcake Nuggets?  Prepare to have your collective mind blown, friends, because this is a little bit of cupcake-ception and a whole lot of fried oil.  Each Cupcake Nugget is a carefully crafted piece of cupcake which has been breaded with cupcakes and then deep fried in a vat of goodness.  Yes, they were designed to look like chicken nuggets, but I can assure you that they taste like the world’s favorite snack.  (Which is cupcakes, according to the same statistician who said that his cologne works every time sixty percent of the time.)

The special sauce pictured above is meant to look like barbecue sauce, but it’s actually raspberry jam!  (The baker had almost as much fun trying to stick to the chicken nuggets theme as I did launching pennies at the children playing in the snow, but that’s a story for a different time.)

I have been told that the Cupcake Nuggets taste like donuts with a crispy exterior, but surely you’ll want to grab the recipe and experience the slices of heaven for yourself!  If you’re not ambitious enough to try making these treats, then I’d recommend you hop on over to the Cupcakewurst Cupcake-Filled Sausage or the Ned Stark Cake Pops if you’re a Game of Thrones fan like me.  Tyrion Lannister for President 2012.

This life-sized Darth Vader cake could feed an entire Death Star or a whole village of ewoks on Endor. Heck, it could probably satisfly that huge asteroid worm that tried to eat the Millennium Falcon. It stands six feet, seven inches tall and looks both evil and delicious.

This huge and impressive cake showed up at the recent Star Wars Celebration VI in Florida. 600 people attended the 501st Legion banquet in Orlando and got to enjoy this tasty treat. It weighed 500-pounds before they dug into it. Now that weight is evenly distributed to so many nerd thighs and hips.

It took baker Amanda Oakleaf and her crew (who also made the popular edible stormtrooper) 386 eggs, 57 pounds of butter, 46 pounds of sugar, 210 pounds of marshmallow fondant and a lot of Star Wars love. Luke, I am your dessert!

If you absolutely have to join the collective of two and get married, you might as well go all out and have a wedding cake that features a starship battle over top of that fondant. Remind yourself that Wolf 359 is where the Borg battle took place, and don’t Wolf it down as fast as you can, 359.

This cake comes from Colorado based The Sugarplum Cake Shoppe. You have to admire the level of detail they put into this thing. It’s more a ongoing battle than a cake. And it even lights up.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Wait a minute. What the hell is a Ferengi ship doing on the side of that Borg cube? They wouldn’t last 2 seconds against the Borg. They’re probably using the battle as an excuse to steal some copper wire from the hive mind’s wiring system. The economy sucks for everyone.

You may now assimilate the bride!
