Feast Your Eyes on These Gorg Cupcakes

The cute Star Wars Resistance critters are now a delicious dessert treat thanks to this easy recipe.

November 13, 2018

Star Wars Resistance has just begun and we’re learning more about what life is like on the planet Castilon in the Outer Rim. Between the Resistance and the First Order, the Aces defend the Colossus while still managing to have a little fun.

Eating and is a big part of downtime on the platform and gorgs are a specialty. Cute but also delicious, they’re best when swallowed whole (see Jar Jar's attempt in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace) -- still, it’s hard to devour such a sweet little face. Luckily, these cupcake versions are much less slimy and lot less vicious.

Gorg Cupcakes

What You’ll Need:

Frosted cupcakes
White fondant
Lavender fondant
Blue candy melts
Light green fondant
Black icing

A blank cupcake for a Star Wars gorg cupcake recipe.

Step 1: Roll out the white fondant and use a 3½-inch cutter to cut out circles. Place over the frosted cupcakes, and smooth out the edges.

Step 2: Roll out the lavender fondant and use a 3½-inch cutter to cut out circles. Cut out the lower third, creating a wave like pattern. Use icing to secure, placing over the top part of the white fondant.

Step 3: Use the back of a knife to poke two holes for the nose. Pinch the white fondant along the edge of the lavender fondant to create a lip edge.

Step 4: Create eyelids by placing a small amount of lavender fondant on the top edge of blue candy melts. Use icing to place on the cupcake to create the eyes.

Step 5: Roll out the light green fondant and cut out fin shapes. Place on top of the head.

Step 6: With the black icing, pipe the eye details onto the blue candy melts, starting just under the eyelid.

Step 7: Pinch the white fondant along the edge of the lavender fondant to create a lip edge. When the icing is dry the cupcakes are ready to serve.

Enjoy -- and don't worry. These gorgs don't bite.
