Presenting: The Muse and Model...

Well as I've found my muse and my model, we have now officially entered phase one of cake project: Millennium Falcon. Behold said model below, and DO check out the website in the picture for more about the unbelievably talented woman who made it. She's a freakin' artist.


I'll likely make a Suzy Q cake (dark chocolate with cream filling), and why yes, will even make it so it's at least moderately healthy. And I know, I know, I can hear all the nay-sayers out there now, but you see, in my life I've learned that indeed anything is possible, even a Millennium Falcon Suzy Q cake that's nutritious AND actually tastes good too. As with any ambition here folks, remember, just because it hasn't been done yet doesn't mean it can't be ;)

All right, well I also found some way cool hexagon-shaped cookie cutters for the, ahem, TIE, Fighters' wings, and will likely make those out of rolled natural sugar cookies. I'll see how Xylitol works here with some practice rounds first to make sure they'll hold together. I'm sure they'll be fine, but if not I'll just have to use another natural sugar. The middle will likely be an oatmeal raisin ball cookie, oooh, probably a no bake version with peanut butter. Yeah that'll work!

OK I'm getting pretty psyched now. Cooking rocks. Recipes to come... if I can pull it all off ;)
