Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Wondering what happened to the TIE Fighter that displayed all the sweets you saw on Cupcake Wars the other night? Well, wonder no more: It’s headed to Steve Sansweet’s Rancho Obi-Wan, of course.
(On that note, Food Network has posted the recipe for the Spiced Black Pepper Cupcakes, if you want to try them yourself.)
In other CVI news, Dave Filoni posted about his own experience in Orlando.
“How you get so big eating food of this kind?”
Food Network’s Cupcake Wars goes Star Wars this Sunday, with Ashley Eckstein as a guest judge. Ashley blogs about her experience as a judge, and urges those who were at the VIP party to keep mum about the winners. Cupcake Wars‘ Star Wars episode airs on Sunday, Sep 9, 2012 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Food Network. (More broadcast times found here.)
Those who attended the VIP party at Celebration VI (or followed our coverage and on Twitter) know that I am a big fan of cupcakes. Mmmm…. cupcakes. I’ll go wipe the icing from my fingers and set my DVR.
Dunc has covered all the news, and I’m just the guy who takes the pictures. and organizes the Bounty Hunt puzzle hunt event at Celebration. So anyway, here’s some of the best of the photos.

Today was fairly busy, starting off with the Del Rey panel. It was also the first official reveal of Detours, which I chose not to attend in order to write up Del Rey. This one goes a little beyond just the stuff I was able to attend, if only because of the sheer overlapping amount of big things going on. (Yes: Still exhausting!)
Oh, and apparently The Clone Wars is moving to a Saturday morning debut? Alrighty then. Bryan Young went to the S5 premiere tonight and has posted a review and recap.
Some quick thoughts on Del Rey, Detours, cupcakes, the Essential Reader’s Companion, Mark Hamill and more below the cut.

I’m not sure how much posting there will be for the next couple of days, as JadeCon is officially gearing up on Thursday and I’ve got a ton and half to do before flying out tomorrow. But as always, we’ll have laptops and try our best to post from the con! (You can peruse the previous years, at your peril, here.)
To start us off, here are some adorable Star Wars cupcakes created by Dottylicious and photgraphed by Red Wolf.
Next, a Lego Star Wars cake by Meg, who has several Star Wars cakes to her name.

The new (to me) Geek Crafts blog has a list of thirteen geeky baked goods for your perusal. Some we’ve seen before, but many we haven’t, including the great Revenge of the Sith cake above. (Check the blog’s comments for more, too!)

Neatorama has fifteen details to help you throw a Lost party, including inspiration in the form of these great cupcakes from myaimistrue.com.
We’ve never made a secret of our approval of Ewok foodstuffs, though I kinda doubt these cupcakes taste like chicken. For the less squeamish, there’s Vader and Yoda pizza. Check out the full set of pictures for more geeky fun.
