Star Wars, The Battle of Yavin in Jello

Forty years ago today, a movie was released that would change cinema and pop culture forever. It was also around this time that it was still acceptable to suspend stuff inside Jell-O.

So, the Star Wars Battle of Yavin in Gelatin makes perfect sense. Brought to us by Jenn Fujikawa of Just Jenn Recipes, the battle scene is made possible with gelatin, the proper molds, and a bundt cake pan. The best part, is that the X-wings, Tie Fighters and Death Star are all made from gelatin too.

Happy Birthday, Star Wars.

The Stormtrooper Helmet Cake Isn’t Short on Flavor

Imperial Stormtroopers may have had a hard time seeing through their helmets — evidenced by their shooting — but the head-protectors do make for a pretty cake.

The Stormtrooper Helmet Cake is brought to us by Yolanda Gampp from How To Cake It. The inside is chocolate, possibly cloned from another cake, with a white fondant shell. May the fork be with you.

Lightsaber Churros Are The Preferred Weapon of The Dessert Jedi

Regular beige churros will not protect you from the dark side, or from creepy mascots at Disneyland. However, Lightsaber Churros might.

Available at Disneyland in California, the churros come in either red or blue, depending on how you roll. Churro battles have already begun, so get yours before the clones arrive and ruin dessert.

The Star Wars Burger Is Most Impressive

There may be no better way to celebrate Star Wars Day, than with a giant cheese-smothered burger. Bar Luca in Sydney, Australia wants to get the celebration started with a Star Wars Burger.

Titled Return of The Chedi, the cheeseburger contains American cheese, cheddar cheese sauce, kransky sausage and pickles, in-between a ‘blue-milk’ bun.

Besides the burger’s name and the space-themed bun, there isn’t much to tie the burger to Star Wars. Although, we could pretend that the burger is Grade A tauntaun meat, and that many Bothans died to bring you that cheese sauce. Happy Fourth!
