			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite scenes from <em>The Empire Strikes Back</em> is when Luke gets captured by the Wampa and is hanging upside-down from the ceiling of his icy cave. He then uses the Force to pull his lightsaber towards his hand, then slices himself down from the ceiling and proceeds to slash off one of the furry creature&#8217;s arms. Here&#8217;s that scene, recreated in CAKE form. What&#8217;s not to like?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-95108" title="wampa_cake_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wampa_cake_1.jpg" alt="wampa cake 1" width="600" height="635" /></p>
<p><span id="more-94917"></span>The Planet Hoth Wampa Cake was created by Jill from <a href="http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.ca/2012/05/planet-hoth-wampa-cakestar-wars.html">Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons</a> to celebrate her son&#8217;s 6th birthday. I sure hope that he knows what a wampa is at his age, so he can fully appreciate its awesomeness. The cake perfectly captures the Wampa&#8217;s ice cave, replacing the frozen bits with cookie frosting and white chocolate. The walls of the lair are made primarily from pretzel rods and graham crackers, with a cake forming the floor. Yum, I like sweet and salty together.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-95110" title="wampa_cake_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wampa_cake_2.jpg" alt="wampa cake 2" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>While Luke, his lightsaber and the wampa are just off-the-shelf action figures, it still looks great &#8211; though I would have liked to chomp on a bit of wampa arm if given the opportunity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out this amazing <em>Star Trek Voyager</em> cake. <em>Voyager</em> is my favorite Trek series, though it&#8217;s not as bad as <em>Enterprise</em> was. Even so, I really dig this cake. I mean I&#8217;d like to dig into it. With a fork.<br />
<span id="more-94992"></span> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94993" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Voyager-cake.jpg" alt="Voyager cake" width="600" height="436" title="Voyager cake photo" /><br />
It was made by JB Cada and Stephanie Santos of <a href="http://www.regalikitchen.com/">Regali Kitchen</a> (who also made that awesome <em><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/05/01/arya-stark-game-of-thrones-cake/">Game of Thrones</a></em> cake.) Voyager actually lights up and is edible except for the illuminated part. The rest is completely edible, including the crew. A woman named Maya commissioned for her husband on their 11th wedding anniversary. It beats a cake from the replicator any day.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-95009" title="voyager_cake_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/voyager_cake_2.jpg" alt="voyager cake 2" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>This delicious treat is dark chocolate with light caramel frosting. I&#8217;m sure it was enjoyed on their special day. Happy anniversary Maya and Barry. Live long and prosper.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a <em>Game of Thrones</em> fan like me, you&#8217;re probably still missing Sean Bean as Ned Stark this season, despite the sheer awesomeness of the show. While it&#8217;s highly unlikely that even <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Melisandre">Melisandre&#8217;s</a> dark sorcery could bring back Eddard, you can still remember him the next time you have dessert.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93991" title="ned_stark_cake_pops" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ned_stark_cake_pops.jpg" alt="ned stark cake pops" width="600" height="401" /></p>
<p><span id="more-93989"></span>These awesome Ned Stark cake pops turned up over on <a href="http://notyourmommascookie.com/2012/04/game-of-thrones-cake-pops/">Not Your Momma&#8217;s Cookie</a>, and they most definitely are not your momma&#8217;s cookies. Unless your momma made cookies that look like tiny decapitated Englishmen. Each one is made from red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, and a variety of  candies, then popped onto a skewer with dripping blood courtesy of melted red candies. Yum.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93992" title="ned_stark_cake_pops_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ned_stark_cake_pops_2.jpg" alt="ned stark cake pops 2" width="600" height="753" /></p>
<p>If you want to make your own, pop on over to <a href="http://notyourmommascookie.com/2012/04/game-of-thrones-cake-pops/">NYMC</a> and check out the recipe and construction photos. Personally, I want to toss in the head of that obnoxious King Joffrey and that two-faced Petyr Baelish into my batch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The quality of this Skyrim Alduin birthday cake is amazing. It barely even looks like a cake. It looks more like an awesome figure that you could buy. Vera from <a href="http://www.bakingobsession.com/2012/04/02/alduin-the-world-eater-dragon-cake/">Baking Obsession</a> made this cake for her son’s birthday, modeled it after a sculpture from <em>Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Collector’s Edition</em>, to look just like Alduin the dragon.<br />
<span id="more-93865"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93866" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/alduin-cake.jpg" alt="alduin cake" width="600" height="900" title="alduin cake photo" /></p>
<p>The dessert was created from four 13″x18″ sheets of chocolate cake, soaked in strawberry syrup, and sandwiched with bittersweet strawberry ganache. Alduin’s core is made of modeling chocolate, which I guess is why it looks so good. It took Vera about 2 weeks just to model Alduin himself, let alone all the work on the cake part.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93872" title="alduin_cake_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/alduin_cake_2.jpg" alt="alduin cake 2" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p>The scales, horns, and spikes are made from gum paste. The double-sided wings are part fondant and part gum paste. The eyes? Swarovsky crystals &#8211; so I guess you can&#8217;t eat those. This is one fierce looking cake. Great job, Vera!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93880" title="alduin_cake_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/alduin_cake_3.jpg" alt="alduin cake 3" width="600" height="753" /></p>

This cake was made by JB Cada and Stephanie Santos from the Philippines-based bakery, <a href="http://www.regalikitchen.com">The Regali Kitchen</a>. It is very nicely detailed. Arya even has her sword Needle with her, ready to dispense of any foe.</p>
<p>It looks delicious and is made with dark chocolate cake with light caramel frosting and edible sugarpaste toppers, strawberry lemonade cupcakes and hand-painted edible toppers. The Starks may have to change the words of their house now to, <em>&#8220;Dessert is Coming.&#8221;</em> This cake is too geeky and pretty to eat though I would be sorely tempted.</p>

It was made by <a href="http://www.charmcitycakes.com/">Charm City Cakes</a> for a wedding and no Nazis were harmed in it&#8217;s procurement. It did not melt any faces either. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I would risk being melted just to get a slice of this cake. Just look at that golden delicious biblical confection.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-92892" title="raiders_ark_cake_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/raiders_ark_cake_2.jpg" alt="raiders ark cake 2" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>I bet it holds the ten commandments of geekdom within it&#8217;s sugary insides. The snakes (why did it have to be snakes?) and sand are a particularly nice touch, although the cobra looks like it has a silly face. This is one awesome cake. It must have been a great wedding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Rainbow Flying Unicorn Cake </em>was officially dubbed the &#8220;epitome of awesomeness&#8221; by me and my committee of official members.  My official committee members, me, myself, and I, were all hand-picked by my ego.  My favorite type of flower?  Narcissus.  I also own a four bedroom, three bath, seventy two mirror home.  &#8221;The only reason we&#8217;re putting up with you is to learn about the flying rainbow unicorn.&#8221;  And the list goes <em>on&#8230;</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-92145" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/rainbow-pegacorn-cake.jpg" alt="rainbow pegacorn cake" width="600" height="443" title="rainbow pegacorn cake photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-92068"></span>You know that old saying, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;ll listen to you when <del>pigs</del> rainbow unicorns fly?&#8221;</em>  Well, it applies perfectly here, because this means that all of you have to start obeying my iron-fisted commands.  By the way, these iron fists of mine are really going to give me some great arm strength, which will only cement my hold on the impoverished country over which I reign.  <em>&#8220;Why such the egotistic today?&#8221;</em>  Because it&#8217;s my birthday, and I will cry if I want to.</p>
<p>If you are observant, you have noticed that the Rainbow Flying Unicorn Cake has six legs.  Well, actually, there is a smaller offspring of the unicorn sheltering under it&#8217;s mother &#8211; the picture below should clear things up.</p>

<p>If you are falling in love with the Rainbow Flying Unicorn Cake, don&#8217;t, because I bet someone has already stuffed their face with it.  If you enjoy looking at this geeky cake almost as much as you enjoy staring at me during Spanish class, then you&#8217;ll want to check out some other geeky cakes like the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/02/20/stay-puft-ghostbusters-birthday-cake/">Stay Puft Ghostbusters Cake</a> and the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/04/17/lickable-wallpaper/">Lickable Wallpaper That Tastes Like Cake</a>.  &#8221;<em>That&#8217;s not cake, that&#8217;s wallpaper.&#8221;  </em>Has the word cake in it, so I don&#8217;t care.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is titled the world&#8217;s first lickable wallpaper, but most of us know that we can just lick <em>normal </em>wallpaper just as easily.  The only difference is it tastes like nothing and you have a smaller chance of getting a disease.  Why?  <em>Because nobody licks normal wallpaper.  </em>This new lickable, cake-flavored wallpaper that can be found in a London elevator?  <em>Everybody licks that, and you know some of those people have diseases.</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91820" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/worlds-first-lickable-wallpaper-elevator.jpg" alt="worlds first lickable wallpaper elevator" width="600" height="437" title="worlds first lickable wallpaper elevator photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-91818"></span>By now, if you&#8217;re not satisfied with living in mystery, you&#8217;re wondering <em>why </em>there is cake-flavored wallpaper in an elevator.  (Or you&#8217;re wondering why there <em>isn&#8217;t </em>cake-flavored wallpaper in <em>your </em>workplace, but that answer is for a different time.)  Mcvitie&#8217;s Jaffa Cakes, which I have never heard of before, decided to take their advertising scheme to a new level of awesomeness.  What better way to sell their cakes than to have people sample them by licking a wall?  &#8221;What?&#8221;  Yeah&#8230; I&#8217;m kind of thinking that there are <em>a lot </em>of better ways to sell people your food, but hey &#8211; they got me to write a post about them, didn&#8217;t they.  &#8221;GULLIBLE.&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91828" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cake_flavored_wallpaper_2.jpg" alt="cake flavored wallpaper 2" width="600" height="400" title="cake flavored wallpaper 2 photo" /></p>
<p>If that woman <em>knew </em>how many people have licked that wall, she would probably think twice.  Or lay down and lick the one on the very bottom, since nobody will have been down there.  <em>&#8220;Or everybody else had the same idea, and she would be better off licking at a standard height.&#8221;</em>  Maybe she would be better off just keeping her tongue off of the wall.</p>
<p>If you love the lickable wallpaper, you&#8217;ll want to check out the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/03/20/lego-cake/">LEGO Cake</a> and the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/04/08/giant-peep-cake/">Giant Peep Cake</a>, since both of those things are edible, you food monger.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peeps are one of my guilty pleasures. There&#8217;s just something so delicious about sugar-coated marshmallow chicks and bunnies that I think they should make them year-round. So when I saw this Peep cake over on <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Giant-Peep-Cake/">Instructables</a>, I just about died (from both its awesomeness and a sugar coma.)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90832" title="Giant-Peep-Cake" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Giant-Peep-Cake.jpg" alt="Giant Peep Cake" width="600" height="443" /></p>
<p><span id="more-90818"></span>The Giant Peep Cake was created by Schoochmaroo, Instructables&#8217; Food and Living channel editor. 200 times the size of a normal Peep chick, it&#8217;s made from cake, marshmallow and colored sugar itself. But the best part is what happens when you cut into it&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90833" title="peep_cake2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/peep_cake2.jpg" alt="peep cake2" width="600" height="568" /></p>
<p>I bet you&#8217;re expecting some delicious marshmallow layer cake inside, right? Well get a load of this horror show!&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90835" title="peep_cake_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/peep_cake_3.jpg" alt="peep cake 3" width="600" height="489" /></p>
<p>Cut it open, and it&#8217;s like the Peeps version of the Flood from <em>Halo.</em> Or maybe that&#8217;s really how Peeps are born &#8211; via C-section &#8211; and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/04/08/magazine/peep-factory.html?ref=magazine">The New York Times are liars</a>.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88399" title="lego_cake" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/lego_cake.jpg" alt="lego cake" width="600" height="736" /></p>
<p><span id="more-88398"></span>Now I know all those little colorful bricks are just made up out of icing, but it would have been really cool if each one were <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tadeomendoza/6917898699/">baked individually</a>, then stacked together. That would&#8217;ve been the mark of a true LEGO geek. Also, those look like real minifigs, so don&#8217;t try and chomp down on them unless you want a chipped tooth and a belly ache. Still, the cake does look pretty great, and mighty tasty at that. There&#8217;s nothing more delicious than food coloring in primary colors. It&#8217;s also good for the tongue and teeth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This AT-AT Cake was made by a loving mom for a four year old girl named Gabriel, and the outcome of all of this motherly love is an intergalactic win. The death machine we refer to as the Imperial Walker is stomping between what appears to be two giant snowballs, but they could also be the dome homes of Hoth citizens to cowardly to face their doom with rifles in their hands.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88241" title="at_at_cake" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/at_at_cake.jpg" alt="at at cake" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p><span id="more-88240"></span>This is almost like a &#8220;too-soon&#8221; joke that just creates awkward tension. You invite a couple of the old Rebel veterans over to your daughter&#8217;s birthday party, and what do they see? An AT-AT modeled after those which blew up everything in the war against the empire. You&#8217;re going to have a lot of cleanup to do after they all go into battle mode and start tearing apart your cake with their sidearms, not to mention all of the complaints from the neighbors. I&#8217;LL PLAY THE <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/qyq3k/imperial_march_frog_press_6_6_6_8_56_8_56_3_3_3_2/">EMPIRE THEME</a> AS LOUD AS I WANT TO, FLANDERS.</p>
<p>If you love this AT-AT Cake, chances are, you&#8217;ll love <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/11/01/empire-strikes-back-cake/">The Other AT-AT Cake</a> and the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/10/star-wars-death-star-cake/">Death Star Cake</a>, which was also made in bad taste. Those people who floated through space for years after the destruction of Alderaan are disgusted at your shamelessness, and are retracting their gift of fruit salad. And Alderaanian fruit salad? SO GOOD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Indiana Jones cupcake looks super tasty. But why bake an Indiana Jones cupcake in the first place? Fortune and glory kid. Fortune and glory. Plus they are delicious. The Thuggee cult would kill you for this single cupcake.</p>
<p><span id="more-86051"></span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-86061" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Indy-cupcake.jpg" alt="Indy cupcake" width="600" height="824" title="Indy cupcake photo" /></p>
<p>This beautiful Indy cupcake was made by Kati Peck, who captures the spirit of both Indy and the movies very nicely with a simple, minimal image. It features Indy&#8217;s whip and hat on top, mimicking one of the classic movie posters, with just the right amount of sprinkles on the side.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t Kati&#8217;s only amazing cupcake though. You can check out <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katipeck/">her photostream</a> to see cupcakes with themes that include <em>Lost, True Blood, Watchmen</em> and more. Bake some for the Short Round in your life. Great job, Kati.</p>

This amazingly awesome Stay Puft Marshmallow Man cake was created by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/infobunny/sets/72157629273982569/with/6862486637/">Poppet with a camera</a> and features the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man getting zapped by all four Ghostbusters. It is an amazing work of cake art and no doubt delicious &#8211; thanks to its Marshmallow Fluff guts. I just wish I could have eaten it all up.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not sure how hard it was to make, but the creator may not have even had to bake it. Maybe she just thought about something that could never possibly destroy us. Something innocent and pure. It probably just popped into her mind&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Death Star Wedding cake is the perfect metaphor for marriage. I think. If you can precariously stay balanced on a space station, all will be well. Or maybe it just symbolizes the fact that you do everything together, including destroying Alderaan.</p>
<p><span id="more-82526"></span><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-82529" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Death-Star-Cake.jpg" alt="Death Star Cake" width="600" height="900" title="Death Star Cake photo" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s adorable though. Vader, do you have the ring? Do you TK-421, take the bride TK-422 as your wife? In sickness and in health? In a rebel attack or just pulling guard duty? You may now take off your helmet and kiss the bride.</p>
<p>I hope they don&#8217;t get sent to Tatooine for their honeymoon and spend the entire time looking for droids. Or worse yet, get sent to Endor and get beat up by Ewoks. This cake comes from <a href="http://www.sweetoncake.com/">Sweet on Cakes</a>. I especially like how the bride-trooper is in her gown.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While many mobile gamers have probably moved on from <em>Plants vs. Zombies</em> by now, I&#8217;m still not finished with the most painfully difficult mini-games yet, so it&#8217;s still in heavy rotation on my iPad. Somebody else is still enjoying their <em>PvZ</em> too, as is evidenced by this excellent birthday cake, inspired by the game.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80622" title="pvz_cake_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pvz_cake_1.jpg" alt="pvz cake 1" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p><span id="more-80380"></span>The cake was created by Imelda Wikamulia as a present for Technabob reader <a href="http://www.offbaseproductions.com/">Greg Off&#8217;s</a> birthday, and it&#8217;s loaded up with all of our favorite <em>PvZ</em> characters. In the pics, I can see some sunflowers, peashooters, kernel-pults, wall-nuts, a couple of potato mines and torchwood among other defenses. There are also ample zombies on the attack.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-80623" title="pvz_cake_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pvz_cake_2.jpg" alt="pvz cake 2" width="600" height="401" /></p>
<p>Virtually the entire thing is edible, including the hardened sugar pool, and the coconut-dusted green lawn. About the only thing you can&#8217;t eat are the tiny cloth costumes made for some of the zombies. As the individual plant and zombie pops get finished off, there&#8217;s a whole bunch of additional ones for the eating.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80624" title="pvz_cake_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pvz_cake_3.jpg" alt="pvz cake 3" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Kudos to Imelda for a great geeky cake, and thanks again to Greg for sending along the pics. Now I need to go find me some sugar, so I can stay up late to finish those pesky mini-games.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80625" title="pvz_cake_4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pvz_cake_4.jpg" alt="pvz cake 4" width="600" height="431" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a Jedi, I suppose one way to defeat the Empire would be to start eating the Stormtroopers. Normally that would require a Rancor monster but you can get in on the fun with this Stormtrooper cake. If you can believe it, the entire thing is edible, with the exception of its PVC &#8220;bones&#8221;.<br />
<span id="more-80427"></span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80435" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Stormtrooper-Cake.jpg" alt="Stormtrooper Cake" width="600" height="900" title="Stormtrooper Cake photo" /></p>
<p>This 6′ 4″ tall Stormtrooper cake was created by <a href="http://oakleafcakes.com/">Amanda Oakleaf Cakes</a> for the Arisia Sci-Fi Convention in Boston. It took ten people two weeks to complete it and it weighs about 300 pounds. If you&#8217;re wondering how it manages to stand up under the weight of all that cake, fondant, and Rice Krispie treats, it&#8217;s got a lightweight PVC skeleton keeping things in place.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80458" title="stormtrooper_cake_head" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/stormtrooper_cake_head.jpg" alt="stormtrooper cake head" width="600" height="432" /></p>
<p>If you want more details on how they did it, the bakery posted a <a href="http://blog.oakleafcakes.com/stormtrooper-cake/">photo gallery</a> that shows the process of the build. How many does it feed? Well, it was eaten by about 600 people. Sadly, I was not one of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s nothing us geeks like more than stuff that looks like Doctor Who&#8217;s TARDIS. Except maybe a TARDIS that&#8217;s actually edible. Sign me up. You have to send mad props to the guys at UK bakery <a href="http://www.wix.com/chemicdawn/confarreatio#!">Confarreatio Cakes</a> for pulling off this incredible TARDIS cake.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78219" title="tardis_cake" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tardis_cake.jpg" alt="tardis cake" width="600" height="883" /></p>
<p><span id="more-78136"></span>The TARDIS cake was made for the wedding of a couple of serious <em>Doctor Who</em> fans, and it&#8217;s intricately detailed to look just like the real deal. The iconic blue police box was made up from a stack of four 6&#8243;x6&#8243; cakes, and apparently even has flashing LEDs up at the top powered by batteries stuffed inside the icing. Yum. Batteries.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78220" title="tardis_cake_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tardis_cake_2.jpg" alt="tardis cake 2" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p>Despite the fact that the cake was a huge hit with the bride and groom, the bakers insist they weren&#8217;t the least bit geeky. Yeah, right. Because there&#8217;s nothing at all geeky about a TARDIS wedding cake. Besides, all geeks are welcome here.</p>
<p>Check out more pictures of the TARDIS cake over on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/69081212@N02/6358352969/">Confarreatio Cake&#8217;s flickr stream</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Star Wars</em> movies would have been a whole different deal if all they had was a Gingerbread budget. Here is a glimpse of what it might have looked like. Can you imagine tasty <a href="http://instagr.am/p/VbTdE/">gingerbread AT-ATs</a> walking across a field of sugar as a young Luke Skyginger takes it down? Me either, but this AT-AT sure looks tasty.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75270" title="gingerbread_at_at" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/gingerbread_at_at.jpg" alt="gingerbread at at" width="600" height="600" /><br />
<span id="more-75251"></span>This huge and delicious-looking imperial walker gingerbread treat was made by <a href="http://www.blackmarketbakery.com/">BlackMarket Bakery</a> in Irvine, CA. It was created and baked by Rachel Klemek, the owner, who <a href="http://www.blackmarketbakery.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/WebImages/TheRightNavigationAnimation.gif">appears to be a sci-fi geek herself</a>. The AT-AT is all gingerbread and icing, with licorice weapons.</p>
<p>It must be Christmas time on Hoth as well judging by all of the candy canes. This amazing geek delicacy is currently on display at the <a href="http://www.discoverycube.org/">Discovery Science Center</a> if you want a closer look. No licking!</p>
