Sink Your Teeth Into the Millennium Falcon Cake

Right off the top of my head, I can think of at least two of my good friends who would look at these pictures and immediately ask, "How much?"

Since Star Wars just got pwned by The Dark Knight in terms of gross ticket sales in the U.S., I thought I'd give fans of the Lucas franchise a reason to smile. And here it is, the perfect way to celebrate your favorite Tattoo-weenie's next birthday: The Millennium Falcon Cake! It's the cake that did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs. It's cake enough for you, old man.

Sin Desserts in Providence, Rhode Island is responsible for the most glorious Star Wars-themed dessert item since a small chain of The Country's Best Yoda (TCBY) stands were closed in a copyright infringement lawsuit.**

The attention to detail is pretty good, although I can't help but think anyone who would actually get a Millennium Falcon cake would be quick to point out its flaws. You might hear them complain, "This blaster shield is in the wrong place," or "Where's Chewie?", but I think it's a pretty spectacular piece of work.

Right now, it's the only Star Wars cake Sin Desserts offers, but I hear they're working on an Anakin Skywalker, which will be available as soon as they can figure out how to make the cake one dimensional like Hayden Christensen.

** Not really. There's never been a The Country's Best Yoda dessert chain. But it was either that or Charleston Chewbacca. I also like Jawa Java, but that's not strictly speaking a dessert item.

The dark knight pwns star wars? You know how many more people go see movies today then back in '77 right? The dark knight was a great movie but to say that it pwned a movie in ticket sales that came out 30 years ago is a bit of a stretch.

Also learn your star wars man, the millennium falcon made the kessel run in LESS than 12 parsecs. Do your research before trying to be funny.
