R2D2 cake

This weekend we celebrated Lil' E's 7th Birthday.  Going along with the Star Wars themed Cupcakes we made this R2D2 cake.  This was a fun cake to make.  It is made from 3-6"rounds, and a 1/2 ball cake pan.  The cake itself was alternate layers of White Sour Cream Vanilla Cake and Chocolate Cake with Cookie n Cream filling.  This go around I even made my own marshmellow fondant.  It turned out great and was just as easy to work with.  Who would have thought.  Man I have been spending way to much on the other stuff.  It only cost me about $5 to make 6 lbs.  Wheras the other is about $4-$5 a pound.

Thanks for looking!

The arms weere made out of Rice Cereal Treats that were covered in buttercream and fondant. 

 

I can't believe Lil' E is seven years old. 

Star Wars Cupcakes

Not the best picture of these cute little cupcakes.  Lil' E is having a Star Wars themed birthday.  For his Kindergarten class today we made Star Wars light saber cupcakes.  Super cute and super easy!  He actually just wanted frosing and star sprinkles, but can you believe it NO SPRINKLES anywhere in town.  I think these turned out better and he loved them.

Can I just say that I am LOVING the frosting recipe I have been using to lately.  It is so light and creamy.  I will never go back to frosting with powdered sugar again.
