Feast your eyes on the most detailed Star Wars AT AT cake ever made.
I’ve seen a bunch of cakes based on the Star Wars AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back but this one takes the cake. Literally.
It was made by ChrisTheCookfor a friend’s wedding. The movie version is 72 feet (22 meters) tall,
but this grooms cake stood 2′ tall. It was lemon raspberry flavored and
covered in sculpted fondant and had an amazing amount of detail. Rolled
fondant is a type of frosting that includes gelatin and food-grade glycerine,
which keeps the sugar pliable and creates a dough-like consistency.
The AT-AT is a large, four-legged walker introduced in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and also appeared in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The detail in this cake is stunning. You can see all the details like
the two blasters and two laser cannons on the head. The cargo bay in
the back and access panels on the underside look exactly like the do in the
film. The AT AT Star Wars is painted to look like authentic battle
damage and it stood on a board covered with fake snow.
I would cry if I had to cut into this cake, since it belongs in a museum.
Groom cakes are a Southern tradition and is a gift from the bride to
the groom that reflects his personality in his favorite cake flavor.
Obviously, Chris’ friend is a huge Star Wars
fan.
The Groom Cake is usually served at the wedding reception on a table separate from the wedding
cake or at the
rehearsal dinner for dessert.
This cake is awesome. Everyone should have a friends like Chris.

How could you cut into that cake???
I would stare at it for an hour not saying a word and then slowly Force it into my mouth.
I'd pretend I was a snowspeeder and then cut down its legs with some fishing line to simulate the tow cable. Then make little "pew pew" noises as I chop off the head to pretend I'm blowing it up. Though I'd also want a tiny Rebel trooper guy so I could say, "Target maximum firepower" and then blow him up. And then you could have second cake for the power generator for the AT-AT cake to destroy. I'm giving this too much thought.
Good question Alex! I added some more pictures. Thankfully they started in the back.
I get it! Force! I love a good pun.
I added more pictures Pat and I'd be the one with the fork crashing into the fake snow yelling, "I'm hit!"
that is wonderful… that is what i want, sadly mine will be one layer and square… yeah like a regular cake, but mine will be on fire. yeah… cause i am that old.
Sweet! [pun intended]
Yum. I hope it's chocolate. My wedding cake was Niagara Falls. 🙂
My cake had a live goldfish swimming in it. On the side of it was Woody from Toy Story with a fishing rod down in it. My wife and I wanted to keep the fish, but my Father in law ,on a bet, swallowed the fish. Yes I am proud that I married into such a high class Family.
I probably laughed a little too hard on that one David. Cool cake idea though.
That's awesome Mary!
Awesome! I wouldn't want to cut into it either. And, my question is, how would you? You'd almost have to lay it on it's side or something. I suppose if you wanted to recreate a scene from The Empire Strikes Back, you could cut its legs out from under it and watch it crash, but other than that… Awesome pics!
Where do you even begin to eat something like that?

Like an elephant. One bite at a time. 🙂
We have two votes for eating it by taking out the legs! Then you could use a spoon to dig into the underside. Fun times.
