Come to the Dark Side: We Have Cake
February 1, 2009 Could this be the coolest shower cake EVER?
I think so-ooo! [sing-song voice]
Seriously, let me count the ways this cake kicks every other baby shower cake's butt:
1) Darth friggin' Vader is holding an adorable little beribboned baby girl on it. Really, we could just stop there. (But don't worry; we won't.)
2) Airbrushing that's actually... pretty? [gasp] Wait, you mean that's actually possible?!?
3) Best. Use of sprinkles. Ever. Baby want sprinkles? Baby gets sprinkles!
4) The lettering! The outline! The ruffly border! The itty-bitty baby bottle!!!
[pauses to catch breath]
5) Say, did I mention that Darth Vader is holding a baby on it?
Case closed. Maximum awesomeness has been reached.
Well, until someone makes a cake with SPOCK holding a cute baby girl, that is. Aw yeah.
Many thanks to Erica for sharing her kickin' cake, and to Woullet Bakery for making it.

Dark Side? More like "Dork" Side! HAHA *snort* HAHA!
/I'm lame, I know...
I'm with Jasry. Two years later and I had to come back and take a look at this cake again. I still love it. It's *not* smooth fondant, tiers and perfect gumpaste flowers it's *just* a pretty cake. Sometimes, the perfect gasp-worthy, 'that's CAKE???' cakes just don't do anything for me. A simple sheet cake with pretty colors, interesting story (and SPRINKLES!) is good enough.
(I still use that line sometimes - 'Baby wants sprinkles? BABY GETS SPRINKLES!')
Welcome to the dark side. Are you surprised we lied about that cake thing?
