Star Wars Themed Cake and Cupcakes

 Picture via Bridepop

I have been to one "Star Wars" themed wedding and heard of several other with wedding vowed being adapted to such things as vowing love "In sickness and health, for better or worse and may the force with with you".

What would could be a more perfect confection for such an occasion than this AT-AT Wedding Cake with Ewok Cupcakes posted over at Bridepop.   The cake was made by a pastry chef friend of the bride and the details on it are intricate and amazing, although one commenter pointed out continuity problems as "there is no evidence to indicate that Admiral Ackbar or Mon Mothma were ever in Hoth".   There always has to be one party pooper in the bunch that has to destroy science fiction with science fiction facts, especially if they are die hard Starwarians or Trekkies.

Those Ewok cupcakes are adorable and could be even be made for a Star Wars themed birthday or just and afterschool treat.  I am thinking some German Chocolate frosting, melted chocolate, choclate chips and some bite-sized Oreos on some cupcakes would be easily DIYable.
