A Monster of a Star Wars Cake

Star Wars Sarlacc bundt cake by Yummy Crumble

“Buttery caramel flavored moist bundt cake drizzled with homemade salted caramel sauce and dusted with Biscoff Cookie Crumbles.”

So begins Kathleen’s post on how she made her Star Wars Sarlacc bundt cake. A pretty tasty beginning, I’d say!

She recreated the omnivorous creature from “Return of the Jedi” in cake form, complete with little almond sliver spikes inside the center and cookie batter tentacles. I think the teeth she added are the icing on the cake (ahem – they’re made from frosting, after all…).

Be sure to check out her other Star Wars confections, such as Sarlacc cupcakes, Wampa cake, Tusken Raiders cookies, and Peppermint Jawa Brownies, as well as her Facebook page and Instagram feed. But I warn you, don’t do it on an empty stomach – her pics are mouth-watering!

The Creature from the Black Lagoon amigurumi

La Chapa, a self described, “hardcore yarnie” from California made an incredible Creature from the Black Lagoon amigurumi.

She made him made this for the lovely kittykill in the Vintage Halloween Swap last year on Craftster. Check out her series of photos of him…he’s even got scales down his back and tiny little claws! Unfortunately, he’s going to be a OOAK toy, because La Chapa said she didn’t write down any notes when she was making him, so he can’t be recreated again in all his scaly, yarny glory.

Amigurumi Yubbla Creature

Amigurumi Yubbla

Etsy seller lucyravenscar crocheted this wonderful creature Yubbla,

a creature that lives in mossy areas around tree roots and rocks. Yubbla hop around, eating bugs and fungi; peaceful unless attacked, when their horns prove most effective at deterring predators. However, if approached carefully and presented with edible gifts, they will become very friendly. It is wise to encourage them in the garden, for not only are they pleasant company but they will make themselves useful by eating pests such as slugs.
