It's certainly not your everyday wedding cake. The Official Star Wars Blog has an interesting post, complete with graphic pictures, about a groom's cake created by Courtney Clark, proprietor of Cake Nouveau in Ann Arbor and a contestant last month on TLC's Ultimate Cake Off.

"Star War" artist Chris Trevas commissioned Clark to create a dead Tauntaun groom's cake complete with Luke Skywalker emerging from the belly. (For those in the dark about Tauntauns, they're two-footed snow lizards who inhabit the planet Hoth in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy. Han Solo slits the belly of a Tauntaun and stuffs Luke inside to keep him warm in a scene from "The Empire Strikes Back.")

The wedding was held at the the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Clark said.
