Star Wars Death Star Trench Run Cake: I’m Going In!

Because there’s no birthday like a Star Wars birthday, Redditor jiggleyourpuffs96 (real mature!) went and crafted this very impressive Death Star trench run-inspired birthday cake. The whole thing is edible, too, except for the little plastic ships and their stands, which I wish I would have known before biting into one and losing a filling.

A lot of the pieces were textured by pressing modeling icing against the tops and bottoms of LEGO bricks to achieve that newly built space station look. If they’re anything like me, though, hopefully, those bricks were sanitized first because mine spend most of their time strewn across the living room floor, and I can’t even remember the last time I vacuumed. I’m pretty sure The Phantom Menace was still in theaters.

I’d eat it. Of course, there are very few things I wouldn’t eat, and, much to my wife’s dismay, items in the trash aren’t excluded. I always jokingly say I was raised by raccoons, but I can see the scorn in her eyes, especially when we have company over and somebody just threw away a pizza crust.

Silicone Mold Bakes Life-Size Human Skull Cakes: Mmmm, Brains

Sure, you could bake a regular sheet cake for your next party, or you could make something a little bit more morbid with this 3D Skull Head Silicone Cake Mold available on Amazon (affiliate link). The mold creates both front and back skull pieces that, when attached with icing, create a life-size 8.5″ x 5.4″ x 7.1″ cranium. Well, an average life-size cranium. Mine is much larger.

This mold will come in handy around Halloween time. What do you think would make the best edible eyeballs to put in the eye sockets – gumballs? Jawbreakers? Pearl onions? Hardboiled eggs? Of course, those last two would probably be considered more tricks than treats. Especially if you also carved a hole in your skull cake and filled it with spaghetti to mimic brains.

Not much of a cake person? No worries, the silicone molds are equally suitable for making Rice Krispies treats or soap. But, speaking from experience, eating that much soap will probably upset your stomach. To my mom’s credit, though, I’ve never said another dirty word since.

Bake a Giant Party-Size Twinkie with This Official Baking Kit

You know what the problem with Twinkies is? They simply aren’t big enough. Like who only eats just one ten-count box? Nobody I know, but admittedly I only truly know myself. Introducing the Hostess Party Size Twinkies Holiday Baking Kit, obviously one of only a handful of good things to come out of 2020.

Available from Walmart for $15, the kit includes a yellow cake mix, creme filling mix, baking pan, and instructions. You just need to provide vegetable oil, eggs, water, and heavy cream, and you’ll have yourself a 2,600-calorie Twinkie in no time! I can already feel my pants tightening.

Um, is that kid okay? You’re not feeding him ONLY Twinkies, right? Because my brother was raised on nothing but Little Debbie Star Crunches and that did not work out very well for him. Also, what happens when I want to make my SECOND party-size Twinkie? Because now that I already have the pan, where do I get more Twinkie cake and creme mixes? Or did you not expect anyone to make a second giant Twinkie? Because if that’s the case I feel like I was seriously underestimated.

The CakeDozer Helps Get Your Slice Of Pie Off With Ease

cakedozer6

It’s the little things. Like when you’re using a regular pie server and you’re transferring one delicate slice onto a plate, and the darn thing won’t just slide off, so you’re stuck having to unceremoniously flop it over to its side. That’s a little thing that shouldn’t annoy anyone, but does. So an item like the CakeDozer is created to solve this non-problem. It’s got a little bulldozer on the handle that gently pushes off whatever is on it. It’s not going to change anyone’s life, but might make the process of serving cake and pie just a little bit easier, so its $16.50 asking price seems more than justified.

Dragon Cake Pan Must Be Ours

cake1

With Game of Thrones in full swing, everyone’s thinking of dragons. At least we are, especially when they look as delicious as the cake that comes out of the Dragon Cake Pan pictured above. I mean, if you’re going to go through the trouble of baking a cake, why not make it something to remember? Layers are good, dragons are better. The thing has a 10 1/2″ diameter and is 4″ tall, so that’s a decent sized cake. It’s $24, but could cost twice as much and we’d still consider purchasing it. It’s currently backordered, but Thinkgeek is quoting a 1-3 lead time.

Life Size Darth Vader Cake

life size darth vader cake Life Size Darth Vader Cake
The dark Sith lord isn’t quite as scary when he’s made out of delicious cake. He can still kill you though, just slowly with his high sugar and fat content. This giant Darth Vader cake was made by Boston’s Oak Leaf Cakes. Yes that’s really a cake, take a look at ol’ Darth sliced open and ready to serve nearly 600 people.

The cake measured 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighed over 500 pounds. That’s a lot of Jedi sugar my friends. The cape was made from 100 pounds of marshmallow fondant alone. Here you can see the Rice Krispy knees and lower legs being assembled (they created the lower part that way so it wouldn’t go stale while they made the rest of him):

His lightsaber was made from a single solid piece of watermelon flavored poured sugar. In case you wanted to bake your own Vader cake at home (and it took them 3 days to do it, so budget a long weekend), here’s the ingredient list you’ll need:

386 eggs
2 gallons milk
3.5 cups vanilla
118 cups/ 32 lbs flour
103 cups/ 46 lbs sugar
57 lbs butter
210 lbs of our home-made marshmallow fondant

Well I’ve got the milk, you bring the rest of the stuff, thanks. Here’s a really cool timelapse video of Oak Leaf creating this monstrosity:
