Star Wars Birthday Cake


Jaron wanted a Star Wars party for his 9th birthday. So my juices had to start flowing for a cake that would well represent Star Wars. I found an R2-D2 cake that I would have loved to make but it would have served at least 30 people or more, so that was a bit too much cake. I ended up with this light saber cake. I think it turned out great in terms of looks! It was my first time using fondant icing. And although it makes it looks smooth, the taste is not that pleasing for a frosting. I guess it will be back to good old buttercream in the future.
