Eaten but Not Forgotten
What's better than a life-size, 6-foot-tall, 300-pound Stormtrooper cake? A roundup of the top 15 geeky cakes on the Internet, obviously. We found popular characters that have received the Cake Boss treatment by professional pastry chefs and amateur bakers alike. Though the cakes themselves have been gobbled up, they're forever memorialized in delicious photos.
Stormtrooper Cake
