May 14 2009*PEW PEW*, NOM NOM: An AT-AT Cake
This is an amazing AT-AT cake created by Jennifer Luxmore (and friends) of Sin Desserts. It took 60 hours to build and would typically sell for around $5,000. Stale.
The legs and base [of the Star Wars AT-AT cake] are wood, covered in gum paste and the cake is the head and body. I was in charge of baking, covering it in fondant and covering the legs with the gum paste.
The cake was a new cake for us... the Guiness Cake. and the background was hand painted by Joe. All of the people involved in the cake are artists of some sort and it took (everyone combined) about 60 hours (background painting, leg and body cut outs, covering, cake/covering, assembly and painting) so we figured the cake to come in some where around $5,000 at the low end.
Hit the jump to see a few more shots, as well as some shots of a ridiculous Millennium Falcon cake that Jennifer also made. Then, cry about how you can't even bake cupcakes without burning them. YOU WILL NEVER MAKE A GOOD WIFE!
Now hit the link and forget you were going to call me a sexist pig in the comments. *waving penis* This isn't the writer you're looking for.

Thanks to HeathN and Tank, who got drunk and sat in on a wedding yelling 'OBJECTION!' until they were beat up by a group of groomsmen.

@10
If they made an Ice Pirates cake, there would be the danger of unleashing space herpies, and you and I both know we don't want that crap coming to earth!

Well thats better then what i could do. I can't even make a square cake, or one that tastes good.
15. catch22 - May 14, 2009 1:06 PM

16. Clamdigger - May 14, 2009 1:11 PM

Pew pew indeed GW, pew pew indeed.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back down where Max stole a military RV, for a fun weekend in Germany. The troops that were sent to get it back got lost and ended up getting lost and crossing the border to checkslovokia. He ended up rescuing the troops and was branded a hero.

Amazing... so I wanna do Jennifer Luxmore now.
The only questions is, which one of them will get sloppy seconds? Will I do Jennifer, then eat the cake? Or eat the cake, and then Jennifer gets sloppy seconds? Maybe I'll do Jennifer while eating the AT-AT off her BACK-BACK.
NOM!

Cincinnati's #1 rock star, you know, after Peter Frampton and Bootsy Collins.
24. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - May 14, 2009 3:31 PM
@22
Fück her WITH the cake. That ought to be pretty sloppy.
25. Truk - May 14, 2009 4:03 PM
@24 - you took the words (cake) right out of my mouth.
26. Darth - May 14, 2009 5:12 PM
It looks more realistic than tasty.
27. Jennifer Luxmoore - May 14, 2009 5:42 PM
Thanks Guys! I think.
1) It was realistic AND tasty. I don't make bad cake.
2) And I'd rather F#%k and eat the cake at the same time, rather than be f*&Ked with the cake....that one is way too messy, believe me...
28. Clamdigger - May 14, 2009 6:38 PM
@22 I logged in @ sloppy seconds first. @ 27 Jen call me XOXO I don't care if your back seat smells like pickles.
29. McCracken - May 14, 2009 11:09 PM

@4 I think I have too.........
I MAKE GREAT COOKS DOES THAT COUNT?! (not that into cakes, cookies are better =D)

this is soooo delicious
32. Jaded Icon - May 15, 2009 8:03 AM
Very well done! However the $5,000 price tag sucks a little. Of course if you can convince your fiancee it would make a great wedding cake you could get your bastard future father-in-law to pay for the damn thing! HAHAHAHA!!! That will teach you to call me a worthless bum!
33. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - May 15, 2009 10:43 AM
@27
How about I eat you then fück the cake?
34. AlexanderTheGreat - May 15, 2009 10:57 AM
All I can think about is Daisy.
All day and all night.
Its become an obsession that I can not contain anymore..
Daisy - DINNER???
35. AlexanderTheGreat - May 15, 2009 11:03 AM
@24 - google her - you will change your mind...
