Luke, of Muppet wedding fame, did all of us (plus the entire internets?) a favor by giving us a tutorial on how he made his amazing lightsaber cake cutter. Here is the four-step hack for turning a Crate & Barrel cake knife into a lightsaber cake knife.
The cake cutter was totally easy. (If it weren't I would not have been able to handle it.) Here's how:
Step 1:
Buy a Master Replicas .45 Scale Mini Lightsaber. I'm sure any would work, but I found that the diagonal lip of the Anakin worked particularly well for the gluing.
Step 2:
Buy a cake cutting set. You'll want a set with plastic handles, like this:
Step 3:
Hacksaw the handle off the cake cutter. This takes a little elbow grease.
Step 4:
Epoxy the blade to the tip of the saber. Again, the more recessed the saber tip style, the easier to glue, and more sturdy the final cutter.
That's it!
