Glowsticky: Star Wars Yoda Cake [Geeky Cake]
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Thanks to longtime GWS pal Debbie Goard of San Francisco’s Debbie Does Cakes, Yoda cake technology has taken quantum* leaps forward. Straws, wooden dowels, or uncooked spaghetti are usually favored in confectionery Jedi lightsabers. Instead, Debbie opted for a glowstick to adorn this 16″ tall Star Wars cake.

Look Who’s So Fancy: Star Wars Jabba the Hutt Cake [Geeky Cake]
Friday, November 13th, 2009Courtesy of the folks at Rosebud Cakes (of Solid Snake Riding a Velociraptor Cake fame) comes this fantastic Star Wars Jabba the Hutt cake. This is perhaps the most accurate confectionery depiction of Jabba I’ve seen to-date, in spite of his luxurious lounging upon what appears to be a Persian rug and silk throw pillows. [...]
Trippy: Star Wars AT-AT Cake with Snowspeeder [Geeky Cake]
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009This Star Wars AT-AT cake by the uber-talents at Charm City Cakes doesn’t quite live up to the last jaw-dropping AT-AT cake I profiled. But what this one lacks in ludicrous amounts of detail* it gains in hot, grappling-hooky snowspeeder action. The next logical escalation in Hoth-themed cake-making? A crashed-snowspeeder cake with Dack‘s charred remains [...]
Freezalicious: Han Solo in Carbonite Cake [Geeky Cake]
Friday, October 30th, 2009Jen crafted this fantastic Han Solo in carbonite cake for her husband. Which I would take to mean either, (1) “I share your enthusiasm for Star Wars, husband,” or (2) “I wish I could freeze you to eternal silence in a futuristic metal compound, husband.” Let’s assume it’s the former.

Simple Pleasures: Sarlacc Bundt Cake [Geeky Cake]
Monday, October 26th, 2009Sometimes it doesn’t take much, does it? Look upon Jason‘s simple “Sarlacc Surprise” Bundt cake and enjoy the small spike in serotonin in your brain prompted by mild-to-moderate delight. Without Boba Fett, this piece certainly wouldn’t lack in prettiness (in an avant garde sort of way). But it doesn’t become a Sarlacc cake until the [...]
FINALLY: Star Wars Tauntaun Cake [Geeky Cake]
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009For years I’ve made offerings–i.e., small children sent to the heavens via weather balloon–to the Interweb Gods in hopes of a pixel-based delivery of a Star Wars cake in the form of an eviscerated tauntaun. Years. Finally, by way of reader Tamara N., I received this tauntaun groom’s cake created by Cake Nouveau for the [...]
