We have featured plenty of weird and wonderful geeky cakes on Geeky Gadgets over the years. But this awesome full-sized edible Stormtrooper cake has to be the largest we have featured.
The life-size edible Stormtrooper cake has been created and baked by Oak Leaf Cakes for the Arisia Science Fiction Convention in Boston, and measures a massive 6ft 4 inches in height. It took ten people two full weeks to make the cake and put all the pieces together.
The Creation Process
The creation of this colossal cake was no small feat. The team at Oak Leaf Cakes meticulously planned every detail to ensure the cake was not only visually stunning but also structurally sound. The Stormtrooper’s legs are made from Rice Krispies, which have been designed to support the Stormtrooper’s 300lb body. This choice of material was crucial because Rice Krispies treats are lightweight yet sturdy, making them ideal for supporting the heavy upper body made of cake.
The cake itself was crafted from layers of delicious sponge cake and rich buttercream, sculpted to perfection to resemble the iconic Stormtrooper armor. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every curve and contour of the armor replicated in edible form. The team used a combination of fondant and edible paint to achieve the realistic look of the Stormtrooper’s suit.
The Grand Unveiling
The cake was unveiled at the Arisia Science Fiction Convention in Boston, MA, where it was enjoyed by 600 hungry conventioneers. The event was a huge success, with attendees marveling at the sheer size and craftsmanship of the cake. The Stormtrooper cake not only served as a delicious treat but also as a centerpiece that brought fans together to celebrate their love for science fiction and the Star Wars universe.
