Star Wars Fan

For my husband Brian's birthday this year, I decided to bake him an R2D2 cake as he is a big Star Wars fan.  I had to buy the pan specifically for it.  It was a lot of fun decorating the cake as it was very easy using the star tip.  The only thing was it took a lot longer than I had expected - a couple of hours just to pipe in all the icing neatly.  So if you ever attempt a cake this size, make sure you leave lots of time for icing!

  3. Very nice cake. I'm actually going to attempt this cake this weekend for my sons birthday. I was wondering what size cake mix did you use. Thanks

  4. Thank you! I used enough cake mix for two 2-layer cakes. Which is a lot of cake batter! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun making this cake. :)
