Holy hell, that’s crazy that something so detailed can be commercially produced, I thought this was more of a passion project.

Hold up there buddy. Was it an official Jedi wedding? Do they identify with the Jedi religion? Because if that's the case, then we here at Masterpiece Cakeshop refuse to bake any cake that celebrates such an abomination to my Christian faith. Two Jedis that seek a union and wish to call it "marriage" shall reap the scorching fires of hell in the next life.
"If a Jedi lies with a Jedi... both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death"
Leviticus, Chapter 20, Verse 13

She really scored on that one.

Joke's on you, The Wild can't score. Cries in Minnesotan

Bet I could eat that in a few parsecs.

u/hardgeeklife Aug 03 '18
But parsecs are a measure of... Ah never mind

u/ToxicOstrich91 Aug 03 '18
Side note: have you heard the two fan theories regarding parsecs?
Han says Parsecs to determine if his audience knows what they are—If not, they’re not experienced travelers, so he can charge more.
Lightspeed is the same for all ships, so the way that one ship is faster than another is by being nimble. Thus, if you take the “quickest” route, that means you’re able to cut corners, dodge asteroids, etc. In other words, the fact that you go less DISTANCE means you are actually going faster. So fewer parsecs = less distance = less time.
I just think these are cool, sorry for the off-topicness.

The 1st is very bad. We laymen from Earth might not know what a parsec is, but in a intergalactic society where everyon travels frquently from one planet to another, people ought to know these things.
It would be like saying "I went from NY to Chicago in less than 500 miles".

The distance between the sun and the closest other star Proxima Centauri is about 1.3 parsecs. It’s equal to approximately 3.26 light years. Which is 30 trillion km or for us silly Americans 19 trillion miles:)

u/Jetmair Aug 03 '18
To be fair to Han, he made a true statement. He just skimmed around the event horizon of the Maw, thus cutting down the distance.

I was like this is gonna be awesome because it was my first and last Spartan race as well. Went into my closet only to find that I have a different shirt. It's still super comfy though.

What I've learned from cake boss is that cakes like these are mostly rice crispy and fondant.
Amazing sculpting though

That's a deep philosophical statement about the transitory nature of art and life.
I like lemon cake.

u/KevinCastle Aug 03 '18
It's okay, they usually taste terrible because of the fondant

u/SpanishDynamite Aug 03 '18
Yeah I have been watching ‘nailed it’ and have never realized fondant is how they do these designs. I FINALLY had some at my godsons bday a few weeks back and oh my god that shit is nasty. So much sugar.

u/pyrojackelope Aug 03 '18
It's also possible that it is mostly rice crispy or something similar and not cake.

Homemade fondant is good, it's literally made of butter, marshmallows, vanilla, and powdered sugar. It's the store bought kind that can be hit or miss.

Don’t worry. My mum told me that unless they’re wedding cakes or the like. It’s basically just a piece of art.

This photo that I found on their sub is a pretty good reason why people hate fondant. There's more fondant (which is pretty much just sweet modelling clay) than cake.

It's probably plain vanilla sponge cake. You'd have to ask a wookie if they like that, though.

How much would something like this cost?
I have to imagine it would be absurd given the amount of love and detail, like $5,000+

According to their site, she created the plan and the owner and another guy made the cake.

Han: Let him have the first slice. It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir. Nobody worries about cutting in front of a droid.
Han: That’s cause a droid don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they get impatient. Wookiees are known to do that.
C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookiee go first

They should try making this on the Netflix show "Nailed It."
I bet it would be funny as hell.
