This Darth Maul cake was for my grandson’s 8th birthday. I used a Halloween mask as a mold for the face. The face is covered in red fondant and all the lines are hand painted. I made the horns out of white fondant and painted the lines on those as well. Unfortunately I didn’t plan … Read more
I love baking special 3D cakes for the kids, but both birthdays are over in March and thus the fun. I thought I would do something special for my husband’s birthday this year. He likes Star Wars, so I went with an R2D2 birthday cake. I didn’t want too much cake and decided to go … Read more
I based my R2D2 cake on a few already on this website. They are all so amazing. I baked 4 8inch rounds, 1 9×13 sheet, and 1 cake in a Pyrex bowl (for the top of his head). 4 boxes of cake mix and 6-7 tubs of white icing were used, plus Wilton’s black and … Read more
My youngest turned four last September, and requested a Star Wars themed party, and…you guessed it – a ‘Yoda Cake’.

I baked this Star Wars cake for my son’s fifth birthday. He wanted “Star Wars” figurines and “Mos Eisley Cantina” is his favorite scene. The cake has windows added for detail but the shape is the same as the actual cantina. I baked two 1/2 sheet cakes then leveled them before stacking. Once together I … Read more
My Grandson Jon wanted a Star Wars Village Birthday Cake for his 8th birthday party. I tried researching some stills from the Star Wars Movies not wanting to watch all 6 of the movies. I finally found a town scene that depicted the dome shaped houses that were all in tans and browns and decided … Read more
I used 6 & 8 inch round pans. I only made single layers. I used a pyrex bowl for the top tier to look like Kit’s Hat! I used the Wilton 1M decorating tip for the roses. I used a leaf tip for the ribbons. I also used that same tip for Kit’s green ribbon … Read more

The round cake was strawberry with strawberry and bananas in the center. The square cake was marble. I used … Read more
I’ve been doing cakes in my spare time for a long time now. I really feared using fondant and was determined to stick with my home-made from scratch icing recipe (given to me by a friend). I decided it was time to get with the program and go for it. It seems to have worked … Read more
