Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars Cake – Geeky Cake of the Week
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009Natasha hand-made the incredible likeness of Obi-Wan Kenobi atop this fondant-covered Star Wars cake of vanilla sponge, vanilla buttercream, and strawberry jam.

Friday, February 20th, 2009Anyone who’s followed my robustly-photo-logged comic convention coverage knows that I don’t have the attention span or the desire to figure out the differences between the various Japanese animes.
