Noah wanted an R2D2 cake for his 3rd birthday. My mom always made us amazing cakes so I am working on following in her footsteps. I was pretty ambitious and probably won't do something this involved every year but occasionally it is fun to try. It was more work than I initially thought but luckily I had help from a friend who does wedding cakes. It certainly isn't "Ace of Cakes" perfect but it turned out good enough for us. R2D2 got a little hot and couldn't handle the weight of the fondant; he has wrinkle bum.
Cake=
homemade fondant
6 layers of round cake
wooden dowels down center
cardboard reinforcement every 2 layers
butter cream frosting
silver icing spray
cut out fondant designs dyed blue
styrofoam arms covered in fondant
A LOT OF TLC and TIME
stay tuned for a post on Miles 1st birthday party, his cake was much simpler!

WHOA!!! That is impressive Al. It was great to see you and Eve. Let's get together again soon.
wait...seriously...is this ali? Awesome cake! I won't show this to my boys...they think a box cake mix with blue frosting is cool!
