• So I was running security for this thing, which means keeping people away from it for nine million hours while they like mentally prepared themselves for the Grand Cutting Ceremony, winding a line through an already awkwardly set up dealers room, and keeping back the throngs of photographers who wanted EXTREEEEEME CLOSE UPS. Arisia only had, I dunno, like 3200 people at it this year. Yet somehow, about 12,000 people came up to me and said "The stormtrooper is a lie!!!" before collapsing into convulsive self-congratulatory laughter. I would have at least liked it if they had varied it a little, with "I used to assault rebel bases like you, but then I took a cake server to the knee." or "These aren't the cakes you're looking for." or ANYTHING. But no. "The stormtrooper is a lie." Every. Single. Time. I swear, if I had any marbles left to lose, they would have been gone then.

• Sure, if the whole head comes off first. The halfhearted "saw off the skullcap" route to dismemberment is what puts off the punters.

• She is clearly a genius! Who has a very high opinion of Stormtroopers.

• Bah. My friends and I haven't gone in ages.  Now I wish we had... wait..  no.. I spent too much money that weekend as it was.

• HOLY CRAP. I just went to an awesome little video game store down the street from that cake place in Winthrop, MA last weekend.  Meanwhile, I haven't been to Arisia in Boston in a number of years.  I've been between jobs and cutting down on the number of cons.  Though that is the first nerd con I ever went to,

• With a Troi head on top.  Because who hasn't had one of them.

• Save me some helmet please?

• I have a friend who knows the girl who made this... I now feel like I have connections! O-O 

• And it was delicious.

• MINE TOO!  great, or creepy, minds must truly think alike, lol!

• Not exactly the same, but along the same vein, was my first thought when I saw this: Who ended up eating the crotch??

• This was from the Arisia SF convention this past weekend in Boston!

• Number of hours since article went live: 7+ Number of comments on how well-endowed the cake is: surprisingly 0.

• The Japanese.

• I want his left foot and I call first piece.

• EAT ME!

• Then there would be the Lucas problem.

• Now that's an impressive act of cakery.

• The Trooper is a lie.

• Hey, if Star Trek could make Vegas...

• Isn't he a little short to be a Stormtrooper?

• A PARSEC IS NO.... oh, wait u used it properly. Never mind good Sir. *Lifts Hat*

• Don't u know the ass is the best part of a Sweet Trooper? It's full of Chocolate Pudding. I would eat that sweet ass. :P

• That's amazing. I'm going to pretend it's a late birthday gift to me. 

• Question: If they made a life size Jabba cake (with jelly drool and a pudding center)  would anyone partake in eating it?

• This is so simple, I'm surprised it hasn't been done.  Maybe not the casino part, but at least the bar.  

• I'm still waiting for some genius to make a Star Wars themed casino with a restaurant that looks like the Cantina Bar with slave Leia's as waitresses

• Now this is the kind of cake I would have liked for my birthday.  Though truth be told I'd probably go after the rice krispies legs instead of the cake part.

• didn't Data have a dream like this once? 

• 'Aren't you a little delicious for a stormtrooper?' If I had a nickel for every Halloween night I've been asked that...

• At least they didn't bake a Bib Fortuna Cake...yeesh.

• D'aaaaww, how adorable! I could just eat him up!

• The Stormtrooper is a lie!

• The fact that he's waving like "hey guys come and eat me!" is just icing on the cake

• George Lucas: Shit, we need to add cake, flying cake in 3d... 1 per hour in every episode. Do it now!

• I find this immensely creepy, personally.

• proving some fans are so creative and like star wars that they will even use their talents to make cakes into a life size stormtrooper. surprised the person did  do Darth vader instead

• ((Death Star I - Docking Bay)) "Hey down there! Can you give us a hand?!" *Blam! Blam-Blam!* OM-NOM-NOM-NOM!!... "You were right, Chewie! These guys ARE delicious!!"

• I'd like to think that the Ewoks did something similar with the defeated Troopers at the end of "Jedi".

• Aah, the beautiful moment when universes collide...  "*gasp, wheeze* Grand Moff... Lecter, what is the meaning of this?" "Well, Lord Vader, the man disobeyed orders- he needed to be punished. And, to be honest, this ship is hideously low in decent food... Care for a slice. "...*gasp, wheeze*... Oh, go on, then."

• So, not only can't Storm Troopers fire at somebody without missing by a parsec, now they can't even say "eat me" without serious repercussions. 

• It's not a Troi cake... It is a cellular peptide cake, with mint frosting

• Cheer up pal, tomorrow's just a day away.

• Anyone else thinking of that creepy Star Trek TNG episode with the Troi cake?

• I'd eat that gun.

• I don't know why, but I'm a little freaked out that someone decided their slice needed to come from the ass cheek.  Rather than, you know, where everyone else seems to be taking their slice from.
