Title says it all. I'm completely serious. Does anyone know what the best way would be to go about making some Starcakes? There has to be one or two of you guys around here with some culinary/baking experience.

Kinda just sounds like a star-shaped jelly doughnut.

Let's see... dense, sugary and rich main component, jelly center, crusty ornate exterior... hmm...

Sounds like you could start with a standard pound cake mix, pour it in a star shaped form, bake it for a while (not completely, but close to done, should still be somewhat elastic), take it out of the oven, fill it with jelly through a syringe (multiple injection points may be necessary), decorate it while hot with a completely sugar-saturated pre-boiled gelatin (or find a way to apply the decorative sugar in a single stroke, like, say, have it pre-arranged on a well-oiled saran wrap piece which you roll out in between the cake and the decoration), then put it back into the oven at maximum temperature to caramelize the sugar before it can melt away too much to destroy the envisioned landscape (build it higher, and the run-off that caramelizes can add to the "natural landscape" effect).

And there you go, Starcakes !

P.S. Alternatively, and this would probably work much easier (but take much longer), leave the crust ornamentation for after the cake has finished cooling, and use a kitchen torch for that... make a thin sugary gel foundation for adhesion, then keep pouring small quantities of sugar in places then keep using the torch in that area, to build the landscape slowly.

That's almost certainly supposed to be a whole stack of starcakes in their ample packaging plus maybe some lightweight refrigeration unit to keep them fresh, not a single cake out of its protective box.
P

Anyway, if that was all cake and nothing else, then it IS pretty damn fluffy.
0.2 grams per cubic centimeters is five times lighter than water, or two and a half times lighter than most fluffy icecream.
That's WAY too fluffy to be just cake and nothing else (empty packaging space, for instance).

You can expand on the super mario Star Cake :)
