The making of the WOOLA Cake for the JOHN CARTER wrap party...
Hey folks, Harry here... I love stuff like this. I don't watch ACE OF CAKES that often... since being diagnosed as Diabetic... it's just a torturous thing to do to one's self. That said, I do love custom cake sculptures. There's just something kind of magic about the idea that someone puts this kind of effort into a sculpture that is meant to be consumed voraciously... NOW, add to that the notion of sculpting the greatest martian calot of all time. WOOLA, John Carter's faithful "dog" - if done right, WOOLA will be a star by the time JOHN CARTER is done. If not... It'll just be so sad. Personally, from what I'm hearing, WOOLA was nailed for this movie. WOOLA was important enough to the production, that when they decided to have their big wrap party, from shooting in the UK... they chose WOOLA to turn into the cake that the cast and crew would feast upon.
What a crazy cool cake. Burroughs geeks should be amazed that such a pastry beast was ever created! Amazing.
Oh and while I'm at it, here's a JOHN CARTER Featurette that is made for kids, seen on Disney Channel and its like...

Whay does the cake say "Happy Birthday" on the corner?
I'm guessing this isn't the cake used for the wrap party? Unless it was also someone's birthday? -
Whay no edit button?
See? I can't edit this one, either! -

Btw that kids featurette hits some nice beats despite the goofy narration. The "adult" version could take a couple cues there. You know, presenting some hints of story/characters/humor etc.
-
except rocks, water and some bacteria.
In Edgar Rice Burroughs a lot of people speculated and fantasized about Martian life.
But, it makes no sense to do so now.

What's up with the use of the chord rif from the Puff Daddy Song from 1998's Godzilla?

I would like cake sculptures if they usually looked like that.
by chifforobe
But I cannot stand that horrid food channel crap. Those are not cakes-- no one will eat a hunk of rice-crispy treat with a wooden spike through it. And they are not sculptures-- they are infantile monstrosities. They are neither edible, nor sculptural. They should be both, like this one.
Sorry, those shows piss me off. Those things are nothing! Ugly piles of sugar goo! THAT IS NOT A THING!
Okay I'll be done. -
You're totally right. And Star Wars? Humans speaking english in a galaxy far far away? It's so fantastical-- you'd almost think it was fantasy and not meant to be hard sci-fi.
-
You know those movies LOTR, POTC, X-Men:FC, Watchmen etc...maybe you can remind everybody how none of that shit ever really happened? You know, it always bugged me how new-world products such as tobacco/marijuana and potatoes wound up in Middle-Earth...fuckn' stupid.

My birthday is Feb. 7th. I at least want a Fizzgig cupcake.

I hope he's popping out in the foreground of every scene like when Borat bent over to inspect Hugo.
Even scenes he wasn't previously in I hope Lucas adds him into. -
These are the things Harry comes up with. This, and dancing hamster commercials. Keep that bar high, Harry!

Remember when they'd create a character like "WOOLA" Then Rick Baker would make it come to life
by orionsangels
That was hard work and inspiring for someone like Rick Baker. Now some lady makes a model in 3 hrs and they scan it in a computer. Souless garbage! Zzzz!

I'd forgotten its name, but when I saw the first still, I said, "Woola!"

Ace of Cakes has been canceled for about a year now. That cake was made by someone in the UK. - The cake looks good, though. Unfortunately, she chose to ice it with fondant. I hate the taste and texture of fondant.
I would have hated every bite I took, if I had been there. ;) -

After firing Carney a few months ago, I thought for sure we'd all see Disney getting more aggressive with selling John Carter by now. I don't watch the Disney channel, and I don't think very many of us do, so just who the fuck is Disney selling this to? I'm a night owl and I tend to have Adult Swim on all night and they've been pushing Episode 1 3D non-stop, but all those guys have long been a bunch of Star Wars sluts. I don't recall seeing a single John Carter ad on Adult Swim (or anyplace else), but it seems like the perfect place to sell John Carter. And I still can't fathom why they're going with the title John Carter. It doesn't illicit any kind of notion or image pertaining to what this film could be. You call it John Carter of Mars and suddenly a tidal wave of possible ideas come to bear. Whatever. Disney has always been bad with this sort of material. The recent Rocketeer Blu Ray is a perfect example. That was released with about as much fanfare as the original theatrical release! Hopefully the awesomeness that John Carter will surely unleash upon the world will generate enough buzz to get people in the seats. Some early screenings wouldn't hurt -hint, hint Disney Marketing Bonehead Douche Bags!
