Gorgeous Millennium Falcon Cake

This stunning Millennium Falcon Cake was made by Wicked Goodies Extreme Cakes.  Kristen did a great job sculpting the Millennium Falcon.  The highlight of the cake is all of the details made from modeling chocolate.

Kristen specialty is Cake Decorating with Modeling Chocolate and she wrote a book on this topic.
