The Millennium Falcon Trapped inside a Giant Chocolate Egg

The geeky food blog Sweet & Geek used a giant chocolate Easter egg (translation) to recreate what I suspect is the space slug scene from The Empire Strikes Back. The interior of the asteroid is filled with sponge cake, creamy frosting, and butter cream shaped to look like grass or tentacles. If you do not have the original Millennium Falcon available, you can use a chocolate version, as Sweet & Geek did.

I don't know how accurate I would call this, as seems much more on the aesthetic side. But the Rayleigh-Taylor instability occurs on scales all the way from coffee cups up to light year sized nebula, allowing for all sorts of structural parallels between deep space and every day life. The movie The Fountain also made heavy use of this, using a lot of macro photography and very little CGI. Regardless, the results are quite cool and pretty.
