Carbonite cake: Harrison Ford never looked so yummy

August 26th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Han Solo in CarboniteBaker and professional cake-maker Michelle is very good at what she does. The website for her company, Confectionary Delights, features galleries of her lovely wedding cakes, birthday creations and more.

But this… Golly, we’re torn. Should we appreciate the creative intent put forth to realize a cake version of one of the most iconic props (and story devices) in Hollywood history? Or should we out it as a completely misguided snack abomination?

Behold, a baker’s salute to Han Solo, frozen in carbonite … we think. Our heart breaks a little when we see these pics because this confection — which so obviously doesn’t match the Star Wars image we all know so well — was so obviously concocted with TLC. Look at the details! The little candied “lights” on its side, the little hands clawing outward … even the mournful look on the little frosted Ford’s face.

Win? Fail? Our verdict comes after the photographic evidence:

What’s our take on this cake? Despite its non-canonical shape, likeness and execution, we frickin’ LOVE this thing. Cake-maker Michelle, you rock.

    And then, then my prettys, you get to EAT the cake. Despire the subject, it also reminds me of a certain Star Trek: Next Generation episode.
