Do These Taste Chewy to You?
March 25, 2009 I think I've let the Star Wars fervor sparked by the awesomeness that was the Vader Baby Shower cake and Yoda's Stint in Cake Decorating die down long enough. Now it's time to visit the other side of the spectrum, where we will delve into the true mysteries of the galaxy, and ask the one question every brave soul must answer before continuing on his or her quest to become a true Jedi:
"Chewbacca? Is that you?"
Of course this question is often made more difficult by Chewy's striking resemblance to Big Foot:
His mixed lineage of both Ewok and Muppet ancestry:
Dirty Muppets, I might add.
UPDATE: You guys continue to amaze me with your awesomeness. Madalina, creator of the Constipated Chewy, wrote in to tell me she's NOT a professional baker - so that's a definite my bad - but that she's fine with it remaining here. "I still get a laugh looking at it," she wrote, "and hope that it makes other people laugh too!" Thanks, Madalina, and may I say it's my hope that someday ALL bakers have your grace and good humor?
And as for the rest of you: Be sure to check out Madalina's blog Duh-Licious and show her some love, k?

The second cake seems to have Chewy in some consternation about his pants riding up in the front. Wait! He's not wearing pants! That's even more disturbing.
Is Chewy scratching his ass on the second cake? Disturbing ...
My son (age 7) is a Star Wars nut. He went crazy for the Vader shower cake. The last several cakes are pretty wrecky, but I have a feeling he will dig the first cake - this of course coming from a child that thinks haute cuisine is anything from the Star Wars cookbook!
Ummm.... is it me or in that second picture does it look like a Bigfoot looking back over his shoulder while scratching his behind?
I know the nightstand isn't a cake, but it is pretty funny!
The Big foot is grabbing his cash and prizes no less! Just what I'd put on a little gril's birthday cake!
That last cake looks like a Wookiee-Hutt hybrid. I shudder to think.
WVOTD: rumpe -- I laughed mine off.
Still...laughing...so...HARD...about Dirty Muppet Chewy and Constipated Chewy! Bwa ha ha!
ummmm... is it just me or does Big foot Chewy look like he has a bad case of jock itch? Tonya A.
That last cake looks like a cross between a Wookiee and a Hutt. I shudder to think.
Overuse and misuse of ellipses on message boards and the like is bad enough, but must we slap them on a cake, too?!
All these Chewies desperately need to go to the hairdresser for some deep conditioning.
The weird stance on Chewbacca number two makes me wonder whether he is scracthing his butt or... you know.
There is something very, very not right about that Bigfoot cake...
In the 2nd picture it looks like Chewy's doing his Michael Jackson impersonation.
What's Chewy's hand doing in the 2nd one? Looks PG-13...

Um, does that person's video need to be 46 seconds long? I kinda got it in the first ten, Thanks.
And is that one Chewy scratching his nuts?
Ew. That dirty muppet one made me sick to my stomach. One of my quirks when something looks like that. Gross.
CW3 is particularly disconcerting...might I say it looks like a turd? If someone gave me that for my 40th, I'd seriously have to reconsider the relationship. Wrecktastic indeed!
The third cake actually looks more like a representation of an owl beanie baby to me.
Hahah! The nightstand clip is so good it almost makes you wonder if that's how they came up with the sound effect. Hmmmm...
It seems that people have beaten me to the punch, but the bigfoot version appears to have Chewbacca, um, err, touching himself (cue the Divynals).
The first one isn't TOO bad, but it plummets from there.
I think the *real* question is why the dude in the video has a George Foreman grill in his nightstand?!? Even if he was craving a late night snack, surely he has to get out of bed to get the meat? (insert witty comment about the dude's 'meat')
As for Chewy, let’s be honest… anyone who’s constipated enough to justify that deer-in-the-headlights look could stand a little ‘force’. ha ha!
(I figured the deer reference was poignant, given the post from a couple days ago… again, with the wit! My mom was right… I am funny! And beautiful! And smart…. and...)
Everytime I see cakes like those, I hear the decorators justifying their awfulness to themselves... "Well, this is how they WANTED it!" Thinking they were actually doing a decent job.
That constipated Ch'bacca makes me laugh really hard. He kind of looks like he just soiled his bandolier.
The second looked like he was doing an MJ dance or at least scratching himself inappropriately. But the 4th ones eyes made me literally laugh out loud. ROFLOL
I cackled aloud at that last one. The big eyes. Oh, my sides hurt.

I totally agree that the cabinet sounds exactly like Chewy, however I don't know what had me laughing harder - the fact that the owner realized what it sounded like, the fact that he found it amusing enough to record it, or the fact that he spend so much time recording it (open...closed...open...closed). Ha,ha - ten seconds would have been enough. ROFL!
These are too funny for words. And the comments aren't making it any easier to stop laughing.
But that cabinet? That's creepy in a fun way.

Most definitely not a cake, but I had a good laugh at the nightstand video...Chewy is alive and well!
It's not so much the cake that I have a problem with, it's the name "Navin" on the first cake. Did his parents NOT see "The Jerk"? How in the world could you name your child after a complete moron?

I want to adopt the dirty ewok muppet baby.
Oh no--decapitated Chewy!! Was that, by any chance, mailed to Brad Pitt in the middle of a field?
I like the wookie 'stache on the first one.
Some of those are unrecognizable! Wow.
So I'm not the only one with a dirty mind - my first thought about the 2nd cake was that he was playing some pocket pool (although I guess he isn't wearing pants!)
What is #3? I can't even find words!
On No! I have to do a Star Wars cake for tomorrow but luckily it's not a "Chewy" cake. I'm doing a "Lego Luke".
I just want to thank you for this great blog. (I am relatively new to it) The cakes are funny, but it is your great writing that makes them hilarious. Thanks again for all the LOLs I get from Cake Wrecks!
why is the second one down grabbing its crotch?
Love the chewy cabinet. I agree, the 2nd cake either has Chewy doing a mean Michael Jackson impression or he has jock itch. I'm hoping for the former.
The third cake is totally the gopher from Caddy Shack!
Will someone tell Chewy that if he doesn't stop that, he'll go blind?
That second guy looks like he's doing the Roseanne/Michael Jackson patented 'crotch grab'.
OMG ... Cake #4 - It's the Golgothan! Sooooo not what I needed to see this morning!
dude do you have any idea how much my husband would pay for that damn nightstand?! bet that guy spent all day just sitting there playing with the door. too funny!
Is it just me, or does the "dirty muppet chewy" look like a creepier version of the gopher from Caddy Shack??
You judge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krVXRCcr2M4
No other pictures of Chewy have better deserved the name that my two year old son has given Chewy. He fondly calls him "Chewy caca" and yes that last one really does look like caca.
I like how the constipated cake says "May the force be with you"... Looks like Chewy will need all the force he can get. :P
In the book "Gullible's Travels," there's a chapter in which a person is faking a sound effect using a keyboard/synthesizer thingy. The person tries to make it appear that the sound is coming from a ..a...trap door. Yeah-that's what it was. The sound was synchronized so that when someone opened the trap door, it made a sound like...um...purring. Trouble was, they taped it on a video camera and accidentally got footage of the person in the background who was using the sound machine. People who'd seen the purring trap door wanted their money back. Can you believe it? I mean, how gullible some people are?
>^!!^<
On the second cake, Chewie's hand/paw seems to be drifting perilously close to where I assume his genitalia would be...
