Star Wars Sweets For May The Fourth

Today is May The Fourth and if you're not a Star Wars nerd like me, that's a punny take on May the force be with you!

Which is all the excuse I need to post more great Star Wars cakes!

(By Mike's Amazing Cakes, Washington)

One of the best Star Wars stacks I've seen! The art for Rey & Kylo is redonkulously cute, and BB-8 is PERFECTION. (Believe me, after cosplaying as his head, I know a great BB when I see one.)

There's a whole galaxy of great Millennium Falcon cakes out there, but this one took things into hyperdrive:

(Bety Sugarland, Portugal)

It's floating! It lights up! And look at that gorgeous backdrop!

While I'm casually dropping humble brags about my past Star Wars cosplay, did I mention I was also a Jawa?

(Charity Fent Cake Design, Missouri)

"Utini!" is right, because those are some fabulous teeny Jawas and Ewoks and AT-ATs, OH MY.

Now witness the POWER of this fully armed - and probably delicious - battle station:

More lights! And love the fun colors for the galaxy finish.

We can all agree, Yoda is the cutest Jedi, right?

(Bryson Perkins of Triolo's Bakery, New Hampshire)

RIGHT YOU ARE.

Also it's darn near impossible to believe he's actually cake. WOW.

I also never imagined a stormtrooper could be cute, but give him a giant bobble head and a Death Star balloon, and suddenly, BAM:

(Spring Bloom Cakes, Ontario)

I've got a great feeling about this.

I really searched for a great Darth Vader cake, minions, but then I got distracted... by a minion Darth Vader:

(Paprika by Sabrina, Buenos Aires)

I know minions are a little last year, but my mom still loves them and this is for her. And for me, because I like his rainbow lightsaber. :D

This BB-8 wins "best use of a birthday candle EVER":

(Regali Kitchen, Philippines)

BRILLIANT!! Pun intended.

Speaking of puns, we can't forget "Revenge of the Sith" tomorrow! And as everyone knows, the horniest Sith of them all is Darth Maul:

(Natasha Rice Cakes, California)

And yes, HE'S ENTIRELY EDIBLE! I didn't believe it, either, so I had to check to be sure.

I feel like you're judging me for that "horny" joke, so allow me to make up for it with this gorgeous wedding cake:

(Black Sheep Cakes, Kansas)

You love it. I KNOW.

And finally, you beautiful, scruffy-looking nerf herders, since I don't have a good Princess Leia cake, here's the next best thing:

(By a hobby baker named Megan, who saved the day when all the professional bakeries refused the order. YAY MEGAN!)

Princess Chewbacca.

I like to think this would have made Peter Mayhew proud.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

And from my other blog, Epbot:

NOBODY SAY "SPERM"

Sometimes bakers like to stretch themselves by making unusual object cakes. You know, stuff you don't usually see made into cake. Everyday things. Mundane things.

Stupid things.

Like this tiny broom.

And bikini bottoms:

JUST the bikini bottoms.

(Part of me wants to believe this is a Spongebob cake gone wrong.)

And this... tree?

Because when I think "festive party food," my first thought is, "I dunno, maybe a tree?"

Some conjoined pencils:

It's like those snap-and-share Popsicles, only ugly and harder to eat.

When I turn 44 I hope someone gets me a confusing baby shower cake:

Complete with lil' poo pile.

(It's a key. How do I know? YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.)
(Also Julie told me.)

And finally, there's this tall drink of water:

Which would be really boring if it weren't for the... captured tadpole.
(Yes, we're calling it a tadpole.)

Ahem.

Sooo, yeah. Way to stretch yourselves, bakers!

NOW STOP IT.

Thanks to Megan J., Heather F., K.B., Kathy B., Julie, & Leslie, who claims that "tadpole" rings a bell. [head tilt] Nope, I don't see it.

P.S. In case this post wasn't painful enough:

Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes

There are a lot of "dad joke" books out there, but this one has awesome ratings AND the word "spiffing" on the cover, so it's a clear winner.
