Death Star cake and Star Wars cupcakes

It's ironic that I'm posting this because...I've never seen Star Wars. And likely never will (sorry). Great White Shark posted these and quoted the creator, cakelava in Oahu, Hawaii, which also has a blog (thanks to Desiree for the tip):





The marvel of this piece is that the near-perfect representation of the Death Star (”Strawberries Chantilly” flavor cake with buttercream frosting) is actually overshadowed by the diversity, detail, and fanboy-goodness of those handmade, fully-edible, sculpted Star Wars cupcake toppers.

These were ordered by our client Jennifer who is a regular client of ours. These cupcakes were made for Lane, her step-son’s 9th birthday party. Lane absolutely loves Star Wars and thought it would be fun to have the characters on the cupcakes. Fun is an interesting choice of words. I can think of a few: …. grueling … difficult … time consuming. [For] all the reasons above, Rick won’t recreate these cupcakes. This said by the man who made 200 cupcakes with gila monsters, snakes, and cactuses for a wedding (yes, a wedding).
