Those familiar with the film franchise are sure to recognize the Sarlacc from the movies, which is exactly what these Star Wars Sarlacc Cupcakes take delicious inspiration from. Made from mini vanilla cakes, the Star Wars Sarlacc Cupcakes are relatively easy to make for yourself or your next party.
To prepare, simply bake a batch of vanilla cupcakes. After allowing them to cool, dig a small hole out of the middle to create the mouth of the beast. Ice the cakes, including inside the "mouth," then cover with a graham cracker and almond mixture. The ghoulish mouth on the Star Wars Sarlacc Cupcakes is completed by adding almond "teeth" and chocolate tentacles to create a tasty treat that will either have some guests shying away or talking about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens film.
