Star Wars cake

I was going to add this to the cake decorating thread from last year but couldn't find it. So here's the Star Wars cake I made for little boy's birthday. I'm not the greatest at icing, but the cake tasted nice! I used stormtroopers as candleholders! The Candles fitted perfectly into the ends of their blaster guns. However I will never use black icing again! It comes off and stains everything. The storm troopers legs had to go through the washing machine before they could be played with as they were stuck on with black icing which filled up their hollow legs and came out on hands and clothes. He loved his new camera and took lots of photos of his lego with it - and he spent all last night building a lego ship which was another present. As an extra mini present he got a second hand Thunderbird 2 which has brought more pleasure than the camera lol!

That's amazing!

Thanks Heather. He wanted cake for breakfast today as well lol! Well a wee bit after breakfast isn't such a bad thing as a one off. The stormtrooper "candle holders" all got stuck on top of his lego ship this morning.

Fantastic! So glad little boy loved his camera! And the lego!
Looks like he had a party! The cake looks so tasty! Yummy!

Thanks Thin Lizzy! I am never doing it again though! (That blooming icing) - it took a whole day from start to finish. Next year I'll do something without fiddly icing. The last two years have been easy because I have a pirate ship cake tin - you just turn out the cake, stick some smarties and chocolate fingers on for cannons and a few candles and flags. No icing! He's grown out of pirate ship cakes now though. Must sell it on ebay - I need the money!

We had some more last night. I cut up the remaining half and froze the pieces last week so I'm just defrosting 3 pieces at a time so we don't pig out too much lol.

Good thinking!

WOW! Domestic goddess much?

That's an amazing cake, I'm happy if I can get an icing name legible on mine! Me and the bf made cake and cupcakes for his little neice who was 4 last week and we were also having to explain why just having cake for breakfast is a bad plan lol

I could quite happily eat a cupcake for breakfast but if I had half a birthday cake left over, I would definitely slice it and freeze it.
Greggs do nice cupcakes - yummy!
