@NewPerfection: rofl nice observation.

Apparently there's this new fad to serve alongside the wedding cake a 'grooms cake.' Its supposed to be the kind of cake that shows off the grooms personality.
SO there ya go! Better go get married before it goes out of style!

That's a lot of "vias" just for some cake.

NewPerfection

Poor Sean, here have some Boba Fet.

Whatever, my fiance can have whatever 'grooms cake' he so chooses. So long as it doesn't include parts of a female anatomy... No boobs, dear. Sorry. =P

cissyrene

The cake is a lie!

SomeoneUKno

This is a triumph.

"NO NO, SHUT THEM ALL DOWN!"

Looks delicious!

Something doesn't seem quite right about the "fistfuls [sic] of R2's delicious body into my mouth". Not right at all ...are you a Jawa? (you creepy, short, hooded, glowing eyed bastards)

@homerjay: and to build on that thought, you just need to find the right woman that will let you have that as your groom cake and then have C3PO as the bride!

sqeakytoy of the apocalypse

the question is, can they make a princess leia holographic pudding to accompany it?

jhuludgate

Heh, first you get the cake, then the grief counseling :)
LOL!

"Unfortunately, that would also probably mean that my marriage would be over before it began. I would be left all alone, weeping in a corner cramming fistfuls of R2's delicious body into my mouth."

Ask any man that's been divorced - those would be tears of joy as you stuffed cake in your mouth.

EBone

MMMMM, silver and lead and Iron! They should make the cake rum cake to really get R2D2's personality out of it.

@SomeoneUKno: My weighted companion cube would never lie to me!

If this is anything like the character cakes that dude on The Food Network makes- this thing is all styrofoam, fondant, and dowel rods. Here's to hoping this is more than semi-food sculpture.

Cakes? Is this Kotaku?

@cissyrene: Oh darnet. . . LOL

--Tito--

That is awesome. The level of smoothness and straightness to the edges of the fondant is unbelievable. He could've made the support bit in the middle look like R2's third leg, though...

@ADMNAISMITH - I don't know about the cake in the post, obviously, but it can certainly be done without styrofoam (the support dowels are largely necessary in tall cakes). Here is one I made myself, for my girlfriend's birthday last year; it's life-sized and started as a stack of six chocolate cakes... Linky to Cake. Pardon the crappy cellphone picture quality.

Sean - it would probably be worth it - as ou'd be better off marrying someone that is a fan to start with_
