Determined to make good on an extremely ambitious birthday promise, I was faced with the task of creating a DEATH STAR birthday cake for my six-year-old nephew. Although I'm sure he envisioned an edible version of his
3,417-piece lego, I decided on a three-tier cake featuring the Empire's famous satellite as a topper. The black cake is dotted with silver dragees and edible mini silver stars and features my nephew's name in a yellow-fondant "Star Wars" font. And what would a such a party be without lightsabers? We found some neat little light-up figures to fill that need!
For the Death Star, I rolled white fondant out over a tin foil ball and used a toothpick to fashion grooves. Next I darkened the grooves with black food coloring and coated the entire satellite in a matte silver edible glitter.
May the force be with you, Craftheads!
