I love it. Here you go:

“After the Death Star was blown up, Imperial troopers did all they could to cheer up their depressed leader.”

My mom taught me not to play with my food, but I’d have to make an exception for these!!

I guess my husband never learned that when he was small. ;)

Caption 1: Can you believe Luke Skywalker thought we would fall for this? Ha! We know better to eat cupcakes in the morning. It will put us right to sleep–giving him ample opportunity to attack the Death Star.

Caption 2: But, eh, Darth Vader really loves cupcakes. If we dispose of this, we’ll NEVER hear the end of it. He’s PMSing right now, you know.

Caption 3: Lord Vader! Look what we made for you, because we think you are the bestest ever! And you are looking so skinny in that outfit. Have you lost weight?

steph September 14, 2009 at 2:31 pm

Wow Alisa, this just about killed me. ;)

Photo 1: “Hrmmm… The force is strong with this one… this cupcake will join us or die…”

Photo 2: “Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by the cupcake they carry.”

Photo 3: “Impressive, most impressive. No. Leave the sprinkles to me. I will deal with them myself.”

#2 I don’t think this is the cupcake we’re looking for.

#3 Weak-minded fools! The cupcake is a lie!

Fun contest idea!

1: Hum, why was this in the Millenium Falcon cargo bay?

2: Commander, we scanned the contents and Hans Solo appears to be hiding inside.

3: Commanders, take this Hans Solo cupcake to the freezing chamber and initiate the freezing process. We’ll sell it to the highest bidder. Contact Jabba the Hut right away..

Nice! I can totally send you high-res copies if you want to make them desktops. Or maybe I should just post them here on the site for people to download?

Jerry September 14, 2009 at 4:15 pm

OMG!!!
I LOVE these pics!!

Here’s my idears:

Pic 1: Uh, he didn’t say it was gonna be this big!
Pic 2: I know we are like two hundred yards from the ship, but do you think Vader wanted that white thingy that this was sitting on too?
Pic 3: I wanted PINK sprinkles!!!!

Reply

steph September 14, 2009 at 11:24 pm

He wanted PINK! NICE!

1. Hey, I thought one of those Twi’lek dancers was supposed to pop out of this cake!

2. Off to the trash compactor with this. Maybe the dianoga will eat it.

3. The Force is strong in me. I can resist anything. Except cupcakes!

steph September 14, 2009 at 11:24 pm

You crack me up ;)

Melanie McMinn September 15, 2009 at 1:24 pm

I admit my jokes are for real Star Wars Geeks. Who else knows what a Twi’lek or a dianoga is?

Cheleida September 14, 2009 at 5:50 pm

1. So this is the physical manifestation of The Force. Funny, I thought it would surely be Red Velvet…

2. Careful with that, you imbeciles! You’ll get Force-sprinkles everywhere!

3. “Cupcake! I am masticator! It’s true…”

Reply

steph September 14, 2009 at 11:25 pm

OMG, force sprinkles. That’s so awesome.

Paul September 15, 2009 at 1:53 pm

“He told us not to return until we found it. And it must be perfect for Lord Vader…”

“Careful, his prize must not be damaged…”

“Okay, okay. This is THE ONE! My lord, say ‘fully operational battle station’ with your mouth full of this!”

Vader: Yessss!
