I Can't BB-Leave It

You know the problem with grapes? They're just so... grapey.

MUCH better.

(Yes, I know that's not cake. But funny grape signs ARE MY JAM.)

 

When possible, it's always nice to work in a good "f you" to a congratulatory cake:

Really keeps 'em guessing.

AKA, the "have you had your coffee yet?" test.

(How long did it take you? Be honest, now.)

 

I know a lot of people are back to school now, and lemme tell ya:

It wasn't a moment too soon.

 

And finally, since Rey had her moment in the spotlight earlier this week, let's turn to the oh-so-adorable BB-8.

THIS is the droid CW reader Low was looking for.

 

But sadly - and rather ironically - what Low got ended up reaching a new low. So, so, SOLO.

They see me rollin', they BB-h8tin'.

 

Thanks to Norma Jean, Tania L., Jennifer C., Peter D., & Low T. for recommending that documentary on how the Death Star was built. It was riveting.

A few of these use actual macrame, but usually only on the topper like this.

Or this!

OooOOOooh.

Most of these use sugar work rope/string, though, so everything on the cake itself is all edible:

Seriously, can you believe this is edible??
