R2-D2 Cake Brings Balance to the Force, Dorkiness to Wedding

gizmodo.com — The cake was the centerpiece in the wedding of two members of a Star Wars fan group in Alabama, which had all the guests dressed up as Star Wars characters, included the minister, who probably was wearing an R2-D2 beanie like mine.

  • yokozuka, on 05/13/2008, -0/+31My wife would have told me: "This is not the cake you are looking for."
  • ghee, on 05/13/2008, -0/+15A lie, the cake is.
  • bossm4n, on 05/13/2008, -0/+17Did they use a light saber to cut the cake?
  • inactive, on 05/13/2008, -0/+12No, but they tried to get the Death Star plans out by eating the poor thing.
  • johndajap56, on 05/13/2008, -1/+11It's a trap
  • mrynit, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10Title should read: "R2-D2 Cake Brings Balance to the _forks_"
  • Conway, on 05/13/2008, -1/+8Triumph was the best part of that link.
  • pOwErEdByNOS, on 05/13/2008, -2/+8It looks like they found Jabba the Hut's sister!
  • zabean, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5Picture Dugg for Journalistic Newpaper Style Title, Silly Cake Delicious

  • fishpen0, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5Would have looked better with fondant instead of frosting.
  • breckinshire, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3They bring balance to the see saw - with Jabba the Hutt on the other side.
  • BOFH2, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3So you think people that get all dressed up in tuxedos are any different? :) If we went as our "home" daily self we would be wearing sweats and holy t-shirts. It is a celebration of love and if that includes R2D2 great. IMO
  • FizzanoMatrix, on 05/13/2008, -2/+4This one shop in Seattle you can design your cake on Dreamweaver, then route it onto the cake mix through external firewire ports.
  • MrDoug, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3::: insert witty play on star-wars dialog with food reference substituted for a key word :::
  • mrynit, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2frosting tastes better...

    I'm pretty sure Jedis aren't supposed to be massively overweight...
  • MaxMWood, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3Yokozuka. Your my only hope..
  • s0nicfreak, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2I hope I someday marry someone geeky enough to agree to something like this.
    I'd feel bad actually eating that cake, though.
  • Jaablaze, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2I like it :)
  • Auraness, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Dugg for the video.
  • Gumby_Mac, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2That's no Jedi, it's a Space Station!!! Just watch out for her thermal exhaust port...
  • HanSolo69, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2The bakery I worked at has made two R2-D2 cakes in the last year.
  • colasrtney, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought."
  • SweetonGeeks, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1We offer this cake ( or a Millenium Falcon) to the first SweetonGeeks couple to get married.
  • GrandmasterB, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Today we join to bring together these two Nerds in Holy Dorkness
  • SaraSu, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1That wedding picture was interesting.
  • benmakesmovies, on 05/13/2008, -3/+5I've never really understood the whole 'theme wedding" thing. If you want to pretend that you're someone else/somewhere else on your wedding day, maybe you shouldn't be getting married in the first place...

    Oh well. Cool cake.
  • PatJohn, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0I didn't know Droid brains could be so tasty
  • slen7, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0Most impressive.
  • breckinshire, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1I don't know whether to punch you or hug you. Guess I'll have to do both!
  • dstachio, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0A true fan would've not let his wife cut the cake.
  • breckinshire, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1Dugg for not actually including the ASCII.
  • NotNamedDwayne, on 05/30/2008, -0/+0Wow! you are a fount of true wisdom. You should be president. The government will be confused when they see that I have written BOFH2 in onto my ballot. But you probably have a wise reason why I shouldn't do that.
  • NotNamedDwayne, on 05/30/2008, -0/+0more mass = more room for the force
  • ChinezePanda, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1I never knew Jaba The Hutt wore a Jedi ceremonial wedding dress.... even if such a thing exists
  • ninja0, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1The cake is not a lie!
  • skyfox2k, on 05/13/2008, -3/+1If you had a wife, that is.
