Commissioned by the Arisia Sci-Fi Convention in Boston, Amanda Oakleaf Cakes made a life-sized Stormtrooper cake that stood 6 foot 4 inches tall and weighed 300 pounds.
It was served to 600 attendees at the event and took Amanda, and a team of nine, two weeks to design, create and assemble.
Wonder how this sucker tasted. I’m a lost cause when it comes to cakes, mind you. This creation isn’t all cake, though. The legs were made out of Rice Krispies to keep the dude from toppling over. Amanda’s cake blog also mentions that they had to invent new ways of making sure the fondant held vertically over time. They also figured out how to put it together in modular, more manageable pieces. Jeepers.
