We wanted to make an R2-D2 cake, but we didn’t want it to be huge, but it still had to look good. So we used two 9×13 pans, and one round Cake pan. The center portion of the cake is a 9×13 pan, the legs are made from cutting out of the second 9×13 pan, … Read more

My 5 yr old wanted a Millenium Falcon Star Wars Cake for his Star Wars birthday party. I looked at tons and settled on doing this version. I used 2 9in pans for the base, a loaf pan which I cut at an angle and then trimmed to fit the circle to look like the … Read more
My son is a huge Star Wars fan, but we couldn’t find any store bought ones that were “cool enough” for him. This Star Wars Birthday Cake was my first ever attempt at fondant, and my son loved it. I made marshmallow fondant a couple of days before I needed to use it and tinted … Read more
For his 9th birthday my grandson, Joe, asked for a homemade Chewbacca cake design. When I realized there are no Chewbacca pans, I searched the internet and used ideas from many of the cute cakes posted there. I started with 2 sheet cakes and carved his head from the first one. I did his face … Read more
I’m a graphic artist at an icing/cake decorating manufacturer, so I’ve started using these free art supplies for coworkers’ birthdays. I had the idea for this Jabba the Cake a month before it was time to make it, and imagined how it would go together: A Rice Crispie Treat core, M&M eyes, and marbled fondant … Read more
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’. As I am a male, and had been watching just enough “Ace of Cakes” recently to qualify as an expert in structural cake engineering, my natural response was to throw reason and restraint to the … Read more

I baked five different fatless sponges of different flavors (chocolate and vanilla), spread buttercream on each sheet of sponge and then rolled. For the handle I used ready to roll white icing that I rolled around the cake and then painted’ silver using edible … Read more
After baking the Star Wars cakes, stack the 6″ round cakes – use dowel rods and a cardboard halfway up. Add the head. Cut out the arms from the 1/4 sheet cake and attach. Smooth the icing to prepare for the design. I airbrushed the design, which I think it gives it a more realistic … Read more
