(Oh the cake inside was even grey! and it was delish.) However, please note that there is an implied copyright on EVERY photo or work of art from the time it's created. So it's just good manners to ASK before using someone else's photo. YES, even if posted on the net, or if it's just some "family photo" and you aren't using to make money. If someone has gotten a registered copyright, they could theoretically sue the socks of you for using their photo in your blog.

On another note: I can't think of a less-appetizing SW icon to model a cake after than the Death Star...what flavor are these cakes anyway? Grey?
