My son's birthday theme was Star Wars. I debated for a while on what to do for a cake for a Star Wars theme. Finally, I decided to do dueling light sabers. My son was very excited by the idea for this cake and couldn't wait for me to make it. I got to learn some new techniques with this cake. I needed to find a way to make the sabre and finally decided to try fondant. This was my first adventure with fondant - I made a simple marshmallow fondant from a recipe I found online. The handles were cake with a butter cream frosting and the sabers were Rice Krispie treats covered in the colored fondant.
For my daughter's birthday, the theme this year was Abby Cadabby. For the cake, I made a magic wand. I used a star shaped pan for the cake and used chocolate covered pretzels to form the wand itself. As an accompaniment, I made star shaped cookies on a stick to mimic the wand and decorated them in a pink frosting - they were a hit with all of the little fairy princesses in training at the party.

I made a light saber cake for my son this year too. I like how you have angled yours, I couldn't figure out how to do that. Very cute!
Great job! Love the light sabers and will certainly keep it in mind for my boys when they get a little older.
My 8yo son is home sick today. We're looking at the different cakes. He loves this Star Wars one!
The cakes came out so well!
My son would love the Star Wars cake. He is so into that right now. I'll have to keep this idea in mind so if he asks for a Star Wars party for his next birthday.
FishBoy6: Oh cool! A jedi cake!
Love the fairy wand cake!
My son would drool over the lightsaber cake!!! He's a huge Star Wars fan;)
