Darth Vader looks “well done”…

Nothing makes me “geek out” more than geek themed cakes, especially when it comes to Star Wars themed sweets. That might be why I almost fell out of my chair when I came across this Darth Vader cake on flickr. Michelle and Vinny Garcia of Bleeding Heart Bakery (located in Chicago, Illinois) has a unique way of designing and baking cakes. Bleeding Heart Bakery’s cakes can be best described as a beautiful mixture of punk rock and whimsy. What’s also really cool about BHB is their passion to create cakes using only 100% organic ingredients. BHB is the first and only USDA certified organic bakery in the States. I’ve seen a ton of Darth Vader cakes, but this is the first cake I’ve seen where Vader’s helmet is off. It seems like molding and decorating Darth Vader’s helmet would be tough enough, but to recreate Anakin’s scorched and scarred head (that he suffered on planet Mustafar for doing a stupid back flip while fighting Obi-Wan) in cake form seems near impossible. Bleeding Heart Bakery did it and did it well. Geez, Anakin’s head looks crispy… kind of like bacon…

Check out Bleeding Heart Bakery at their official website or their flickr page. Also, you can follow BHB on Twitter at @bleeding_heart.
