Darth Vader, need I say more?
Unlike many of my cake creations I was confident of my ability to bring one of sci-fi's greatest villians to life in the form of cake. And I was thrilled with how he turned out.
I confess to having a geeky side to my personality, and I actually like the "Star Wars" movies a lot. But my appreciation of the films is miniscule when compared to my husbands love of them. I knew going in that Ben would be a tough critic of this particular design. So I knew the cake was a success when he threatened not to let it leave the house.
Darth Vader breakdown:
Cake: 2 eight inch round layers with the dome layer on top.
Icing: Dirty iced with vanilla buttercream. Covered in fondant, airbrushed black.
Embellishments: the helmet flair and the "mouth" are made with rice crispy treats.
