If you mistakenly think this is a model figure of the AT-AT walker from Star Wars, then you are wrong! This is, in fact, a real edible cake!

This coolsome creation was created by Jennifer Luxmore (and friends) of Sin Desserts, and it took an amazing 60 hours to complete.

The legs and base [of the Star Wars AT-AT cake] are wood, covered in gum paste and the cake is the head and body. I was in charge of baking, covering it in fondant and covering the legs with the gum paste.

The cake was a new cake for us… the Guiness Cake. and the background was hand painted by Joe. All of the people involved in the cake are artists of some sort and it took (everyone combined) about 60 hours (background painting, leg and body cut outs, covering, cake/covering, assembly and painting) so we figured the cake to come in some where around $5,000 at the low end.

You can check out their flickr gallery to see the entire process, which seemed to be losta fun ^^
