The Star Wars Light Saber Cake

This is a very popular theme that is perfect for your child’s birthday. There are also a number of ways to make this, and even if you are a cake decorating beginner, you will find this easy to prepare. Here is the basic way of preparing one:

Bake a 9”x13” cake then cut the cake into ample sized pieces. After you have that done, arrange the pieces side by side forming the light saber. You can choose to frost the cake or cover it in fondant. For the handle of the light saber, frost it or cover it in a different colored fondant. You can also add more intricate details to it if you like.

There are also others that choose to use a light saber that is made from hard candy. You will need to purchase a molding kit in order for you to do this. Some even use glow sticks to backlit their light saber, so when they turn the lights out, the light saber glows. The light sabers are then placed on top of the cake and they cover it with butter cream or fondant, then highlighted with edible, personalized cake images.

The Star Wars R2D2 Cake

Among all the Star Wars cake ideas, this seems to be the most popular. The R2D2 cake pan # 2105 – 1294 was actually discontinued way back, but there are still some that are available. The instructions of preparing this one is normally included if you purchase the pan. If ever there is none included, you can search the Internet for recipes and instructions.

The 3D Yoda Cake

For you to make a 3D Yoda cake, bake a 6” round cake using a pan and a tin (bowl-shaped). Once it is done, let it cool down, then stack them up and cover them with butter cream. As for the cake’s body, cover it with brown and green colored fondant. The head of Yoda is made using chocolate crackle (crispy rice treats) and is then inserted into the body with the use of bamboo skewers.

The Star Wars Death Star Cake

This is made using a ball shaped cake pan. Once it cools down, cover the whole cake with butter cream. Next, you can choose to do either of these two:

1. Cut small pieces of fondant and randomly affix them around the entire ball.

2. Cover the whole cake ball with fondant and make indents in it to form squares using the edge of a sharp knife.

These are just some star wars themes that you can choose to do. Search the Web for more wonderful Star Wars cake ideas!
