Life-sized Stormtrooper cake takes eaters to the delicious side
A very short time ago, in Boston, Massachusetts, hungry Arisia Sci-Fi Convention attendees chowed down on what its creators described as "the world’s most epic cake."
According to Tyler Oakleaf, co-owner of Amanda Oakleaf Cakes, it took a staff of ten to assemble the 6 foot 4 inch edible Stormtrooper using 208 eggs, 20 pounds of butter, 140 pounds of sugar, 35 pounds of flour, 55 pounds of marshmallows and 30 pounds of Rice Krispies Treats.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being stolen? I'd
definitely appreciate it.
Insert way-too-obvious one-liner here:
1. The cake is not a lie, it's just set for stun.
And for good measure...
2. Hokey snack-cakes and ancient baking methods are no match for a good fondant at your side, kid.
Brilliant cake. Well done indeed.
