He’s a maths teacher by trade and a self-proclaimed “professional dad”, but Nathan Shield’s latest hobby is certainly no “flash in the pan”.

He took up the craft of “pancake art” after moving from the US state of Oregon to the tropical island of Saipan in the Pacific Ocean with the aim of impressing his toughest critics - his children.. (article Art in the pan)

This beautiful cake was created for the hungry patrons at the Arisia Sci-Fi Convention in Boston, MA.  The stormtrooper stands at 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighed at least 300 lbs, and fed nearly 600 hungry conventioneers!

The building of the Stormtrooper cake was an epic event in and of itself.  It took our entire wonderful crew of ten people two full weeks of to put this guy together (although the cake wasn’t added until 2 days before it was to be served).  Along the way we even had to invent completely new cake making methods so it could be put together modularly onsite, hold its fondant over long vertical stretches, and stand on two beautifully sculpted Rice Kripsy legs that supported his 300 lb body –all while keeping every bit of cake tasting light, fluffy, and delicious!
