His birthday was a Star Wars theme last year. This year is going to be a sequal.
Last year's cake was a double light saber, with light saber cupcakes for school.
I made R2-D2
and the Millenium Falcon for friends.
This year, his school cupcakes were clone troopers. Thanks to the Clone Wars Encyclopedia, there were 7 different types of troopers adorning 31 cupcakes.
Surprisingly, these cupcakes were not that difficult to make. The base coat was white and all the "eye shields" were the same shape. I just had to add some additional details in different colors to make the different troopers.
Next week, I will be making a Commander Fox cake for his birthday party.
I can't wait to see what next year's cake "order" will be!
