Celebrate The Force Awakens With Your Very Own Star Wars Sarlacc Bundt Cake

I have a little confession about my family. We’re a bunch of geeks. Geeks to the core. I’m a Disney fanatic sprinkled with a little Harry Potter and drizzled heavily with I Love Lucy. My husband is a Trekkie who’s obsessed with Star Wars all while being a loyal Battlestar Galactica fan. But geeks are awesome, so this Star Wars Sarlacc Bundt Cake is for you geeks!

Buttery caramel flavored moist bundt cake drizzled with homemade salted caramel sauce and dusted with Biscoff Cookie Crumbles. Two Biscoff madeleines with salted caramel buttercream teeth make the monster of this Star Wars Sarlacc Bundt Cake.

A Sarlacc is a horrific plant-like omnivorous creature found across the galaxy. It’s got huge tentacles and a beak, and was in the famous pit scene from Return of the Jedi. This is where Bobba Fett met his maker. This thing gave me the heebie jeebies the first time I saw Return of the Jedi, so this is my little tribute to him. I know the Sarlacc traditionally does not have teeth on his beak, but I just couldn’t resist. Sorry Star Wars fanatics! Teeth made of frosting is my new favorite thing.

The caramel bundt cake is super moist and delicious so it really didn’t need a lot of frosting. I drizzled the entire cake with caramel sauce to make the Biscoff Cookie Crumbs stick. Then with almonds, I stuck them around the walls of the interior to create those spikes or teeth. I piped in some frosting to make the madeleine beak stay in place, and his tentacles were the madeleine batter baked on a cookie sheet. I piped teeth on the madeleines like I did for my Monster Strawberry Cupcakes.

I’m Kathleen and Yummy Crumble is where I explore my sweet tooth and share it with you. I’m not gonna lie. Sweets make my heart flutter. Gooey chocolate chip cookies. Cupcakes with mile high frosting. I won’t even turn down fruit cake! Other things that make my heart flutter are my two beautiful children and of course my lovely husband.
