Dead Tauntaun Wedding Cake!

Star Wars artist Chris Trevas let us know of this glorious Tauntaun cake for his wedding!

Julie and I had Courtney Clark from Cake Nouveau of Food Network Challenge (and TLC Ultimate Cake-Off) fame do our wedding cakes including a special cake request from me — Luke Skywalker stuffed inside a dead Tauntaun!

It was certainly one of the talks of the wedding evening. Older relatives were a bit confused, but the kids and our friends loved it!

Courtney did an amazing job! My wife Julie and I are big Food Network nerds so we were geeked to hire her.

As further proof of what cake nerds we are, my only big non-Star Wars job I did last year was artwork for the Ace of Cakes book just released this month.

    awesome. i wish i had a cake like that. I wonder if they will ever make a cake that has anakin and obi wan fighting on Mustafar. that would be cool.

  22. It seems a shame to eat it.

  23. Wood says:

    “Ooh…I thought they smelled bad on the outside!”

  24. lindz-e says:

    lol
    totally sweet cake
    i agree with theresa
    where’s han??
    it was his brilliant idea to shove luke in there
    i suppose afterwards
    when leia kisses luke
    han’s thinking
    “this is wat i get 4 saving his life??”
    “no, this is wat i get 4 shovin him into a dead tantaun”

    Best regards.

  28. Awesome. wonder if they will ever make a cake that has Vader’s helmet on it. that would be cool.

  30. RC-1290'Dreadnought' says:

    Does it smell bad from the outside?

  31. I dont get it but once again I am not very normal…

    THEY SHOULD MAKE A CAKE OF PADME AND ANAKIN FOR A WEDDING CAKE OR SOMETHING!!!

  32. MT in FL says:

    Padme & Anakin?

    Umm, you do remember how THAT relationship ended, right?

  33. mando says:

    Nice! Courtney is pretty cute herself

  34. Shada says:

    I love this! Fantastic. :)

  35. axel8910 says:

    very nice :)

  36. Aaron Shaw says:

    Very Funny! I don’t know if I could have done this to my own wedding cake though.

  37. Cody says:

    i want that at my wedding

  38. I agree that its very good job, but i don’t think that any non-vegetarian person will dare to smash it….sry but it is looking so horrible..

  39. Blasty says:

    This was the groom’s cake. There was an equally impressive, yet elegant, wedding cake made by Courtney there. I’m the trooper on the left in the photos. It was an amazing wedding to be part of. Congrats to Chris & Julie!

  40. Barb says:

    Great photo of this awesome cake.

  41. darth raider says:

    i wish that i could have ate the internal organs

  42. Chibi Angel says:

    That doesn’t look like a Taun Taun. It looks more like one of those weird creatures people have found in Texas that they think are Chupacabras.

  43. Tom Croom says:

    I am impressed (and disgusted) at the same time. Did the new couple honeymoon in a room with Tauntaun sleeping bags afterwards?

    Now THAT would be impressive. :)

  44. tayyabr says:

  45. Roborobz says:

  46. Deirdre says:

    Not by them, and not as cool, but as someone wanted to know if it had been done….
