This Darth Maul Cake was for my son’s 5th birthday party. I found a picture of Darth Maul online, printed it and used an opaque projector to enlarge it. Then I traced the outline of the image onto wax paper and used gel icing on the reverse to go over the trace lines. I put a crumb coat of white icing on the cake, then put it in the freezer for about 30 min. After another coat of white icing, I put it back in the freezer for another half hour.
Then, I placed my wax paper, gel side down, onto the cake to transfer the image. Make sure you run your finger lightly around the lines for a good transfer. From there, it’s pretty much like paint-by-numbers. I used pretinted canned red & black icing squirted into a piping bag to fill it in. Yellow on the eyes added that super spooky touch! This cake is a 14″ round, boxed cake with Classic White icing right out of the can.
I have been scouring the internet for the pic that resembles Darth Maul on your cake, and can’t find anything close to it! It’s a lot more neat and has clearer horn things (not sure the name, this is for boyfriend!), and I literally can’t find anything that would work except yours! Can you possibly point me in the direction of where you got the picture from?
Thank you!
Sure! Just Google “Darth Maul Bobblehead”. The picture that I used should pop up. Good luck!
thanks so much! took me right there!
