Star Wars 2nd time around

The same friend that request the Star Wars themed cake for her husband asked about another one for her son's birthday. I was really excited to try painting on fondant and wanted to give it a try for this cake.

I attempted a 3d painting of R2D2 and I really like the way it turned out. The only part of the cake that I was not pleased with was the icing covering the cake. I intended to have the cake covered completely in white fondant to have a smooth background, but I injured my elbow and couldn't even begin to roll out the fondant. The icing was last minute and was really quite

frustrating.

Star Wars -eeeek

I love all things Star Wars and when a friend asked me to make her hubby a Star Wars themed cake, I was sooooo excited. After looking around online for ideas, it was obvious that there were lots out of my league. So I decided to stick with simple.

Which meant a fondant covered blue cake with cut out white stars and the logo in white. Then figures of the characters out of fondant sitting around the tiers of the cake.

I didn't take a picture of the actual cake - sorta forgetful that way :-) - but I did get some awesome shots of the figures.

Update ** friend of mine sent me a pic of the finished cake :-)
