I must admit that I am a huge fan of the Twilight Saga. Yes, I know. I’m a tween several times over, but the angst of those younger years is never forgotten. I can’t get enough of it. Twilighters from around the globe can’t get enough either. I’d offer Stephanie Meyer and her entire bloodline free cakes for life if she’d just write another chapter to this great love story. I’d give up eating chocolate for the rest of my life if I could just read a little more…

While summer promises to bring the next book, ‘Eclipse’, to the big screen, fans are becoming more and more creative in getting their much needed Twilight ‘fix’ in the meantime. One way to do that is to host Twilight themed parties for all sorts of occasions, even weddings! Where there is a party, there is usually cake. Of course, my curiosity was peaked and I did a little research. I found quite a number of Twilight inspired cakes; some good, some bad, and some downright scary. I am posting the most original and interesting I could find at the moment.

I am considering making a Twilight cake myself – for charity, of course. I’m putting it out there to all of you fellow Twilight fans…email me your ideas. I will give credit to each person whose idea gets incorporated into the final design and I’ll showcase the finished product here on my blog. The deadline for submissions will be midnight, March 31, 2010. I won’t mention the event at this moment, but lets just say, it’s going to be a huge, Twilight obsessed crowd.

Here are some of the Twilight inspired cakes I found online:

A little Edward does the body good. Who wouldn’t want to take a bite out of this?
Cake by Letizia

Where would we be without a Wilton inspired version of Edward?
Cake by Chantilly38

The buttercream details on this cake are very well done. Cake by Cake And Art

Cake by Cakes by Miranda

If not for my husband opposing, I might have a Twilight poster hanging on my bedroom wall, just like in this edible bedroom cake. Cake by Sassy Cakes by Nina

This cake won third place in a Twilight-themed cake contest. Cake by Tantalizing Treats

I love the Cullen Crest on the top of this fondant cake. It’s beautifully executed! Cake by Leigh Torres of Say It Cake

Team Jacob fans need their cake fix, too. Cake by Isabella’s Sweets

I really like this cake. Very nice job! Cake by Chocolate Moose Cakes in El Paso Texas.

I like the elegant look of this cake. The marble look of the fondant reminds me of the scenes in the Volturri chambers. Cake by Cake Diosa

Francesca is one of my favorite cake designers from the Land Down Under. No icing image here. It’s hand painted. As with all her cakes, it’s beautifully executed! Cake by Franmjc

I am not sure who made this cake, but I call it ‘Confused Edward’. Is that Twilight Lava under his feet? Still looks appetizing to me.

For me, New Moon, the movie, was hard to sit through without Edward’s presence. I was so happy when he reappeared during this scene, under the clock tower in Volterra, Italy. Cake by Min_Wilson

Cake by Bellatheball9

This cake is one of my favorites. This cake won first place on Cake Central’s Twilight cake contest. It is very well done and thought out, neat and clean work. I love the design. Cake by 17Tangerine

Everything from soup to nuts. Cake by eldawstem

Who can forget this ill fated scene? Is that an apple on the ground? I must have missed that part. Cake by Trisha Joy

I have to give it to the multitude of Twilight fans. They do not lack for creativity, that’s for certain. I will keep a close eye out for new cakes and ‘keep you posted’. If you haven’t yet ventured out to get your Twilight fix, give it a try. Prepare to be hooked. It’s inevitable. The books are far better than the movies since there is so much more to the stories that the film adaptations are not able to cover. If you are inpatient like me try the audiobooks. It’s easy, convenient and you’ll get your fix much faster!

Life is too short not to have fun
