‘Til Droids Do Us Part
It is becoming increasingly clear that my knowledge of human psychology is greatly lacking. Once again the popular site Gizmodo has an article on a familiar-themed wedding cake, with some apparently negative commentary on anyone who would serve an astromech-shaped cake at a wedding celebration.
Granted, the cake is, predictably, the Rebel droid R2–D2, but the issue does not seem to be with the model itself, but the concept as a whole. In my opinion, other than the obvious Rebellion theme, I find this cake to be a quite accurate replica, and a feat that is not easy in any form of pastry. It is not entirely constructed of cake – the legs, lights are not, and the decorator used a camera lens in the process. However, it would be very difficult or impossible to replace those elements with something edible, so I believe the creator has done an impressive job.
R2-D2 Cake Brings Balance to the Force, Dorkiness to Wedding
I’ve come to the conslusion that Gizmodo is little more than a hive of insecure dorks that think it makes them cool to bash other dorks, so I don’t go there.
Luckily, I have you for that, QT.
