Sometimes all you really need is a little pomp and circumstance to make a cake great. I made this little R2D2 for my friend's son, Luke's fifth birthday party. He might only be five but he's a huge Star Wars fanatic and really wanted an R2D2 cake for his party. I couldn't say no, could I? When Luke saw the finished product, oh how I wish I had had a camera! He was SO excited!
I made Mr. R2D2 entirely out of fondant but only because I didn't have enough gum paste on hand. I started out with a basic shape and slowly filled it up using layers of other colors and shapes. For a brief moment I considered putting a few tiny LEDs inside R2's top "eye" but just ran out of time. Maybe next time. :)
