... or is my stormtrooper fucked?

[CrystalMethHog]

Following on from the hilarious is my hedgehog fucked thread, I thought I'd pick up my tools and make another cake. Specifically for BIL's big 30th birthday party.


Be honest, is there any saving this? Or am I destined to a life where people point at me in the street and laugh?

[thistlescot]

Strangely, it reminds me of a spider

[thistlescot]

A very grumpy one 😂

[ToDarnHot]

It's very, er, 'rustic'. Do you have a small child you can blame?

[OuEstPierreLapin]

Lol, It's not the cake you're looking for!

Tbf, it's no bad. Could do with a domed top.

[Maelstrop]

Why is it flat??

[LeighaJ]

It looks like an albino Frankenstein.

Needs a round top...

Maybe one more layer with a lot of icing or add whipped cream on top before serving.

[TheQueef]

I would happily pay professional cake prices for that.

It embodies the epic struggle of the force so succinctly.

Bravo.

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

Your stormtrooper looks sad and anxious.

[ladyvimes]

It looks a bit like it’s been sat on.

[Anniegetyourgun]

Pass it over here. I'll eat the evidence so nobody ever has to know.

Actually, I confess it looks rather cute. Er, stormtroopers aren't supposed to look cute, are they?

[CrystalMethHog]

It's flat because I'm going to put another smaller cake on top of it

I really don't know how to link my previous thread but trust me, I've got form.

[VelociraptorRex]

It's way better than anything I could do! What cake is going on top of it??

[CrystalMethHog]

It's a sponge covered in black and I'm putting the Star Wars Logo on it and some stars.

That failing I might just cover it with a baseball cap. Call it stormtrooper bad hair day

[PerpendicularVincent]

If the request was for a very small stormtrooper who looks like he's straining to take a shit, then you've fulfilled the brief perfectly.

[ErrolTheDragon]

If you do an image search for 'stormtrooper cake' there are a lot of flat topped ones.

It's really very inconsiderate of film makers and fiction writers not to have come up with some villains and heroes who can easily be represented with a couple of sponge cakes and icing.

[Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar]

It looks extremely pissed off

[GummyGoddess]

I remember your other thread, I thought the hedgehog turned out rather well!

[YouBetterWORK]

Get some Lego stormtroopers, maybe Yoda and Chewbacca too to put on top of it, like they are having a party on a stormtrooper 'stage'. Just to cement in that yes, this is a star wars cake

I think it's ok OP, I'm a big Star Wars fan and it's stormtroopery enough for me!

[mogloveseggs]

I did the same sort of cake for dh last year. So hard! Mine looked a bit pained/puzzled i put a small cake on top like you’re planning and covered that with stars then put ds’s Star Wars lego figures on with the candles.

[StorminaBcup]

I remember your hedgehog cake .

He looks like a stormtrooper with short man syndrome. But it's still much much better then anything I'd conjure up

[0h]

Would you hate me if I told you I first thought it was a toilet? I thought you'd stuck stormtrooper stickers on a loo/toilet seat.

Knowing it's cake just makes it better! Now I love it. .

[NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking]

I made an ewok cake once.. the stress!!!!

I agree, it needs a domed top.

[StorminaBcup]

Are you aiming for something like this? Everyone will know what it is when it's finished although I think you need make the eyes a little less triangular if that helps?

[GummyGoddess]

Hedgehog cake

[CrystalMethHog]

@StorminaBcup yes! That's the exact one I was trying to make although I viewed the pictures next to one another and now I can't stop laughing.

I was going to freeze the cake and defrost in a few weeks but I think I'll start again....
