Say what?!?!
This is what I was thinking when Debbie approached me with the Star Wars idea for her son's 8th birthday. That's right, I made a Star Wars Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser cake.
My son's school was having a fundraiser, so I donated my cake services to help raise some money. I was so flattered when Debbie contacted me saying she bid on me during a silent auction and had won. This was a great opportunity for me in so many ways. I got to make my very first Lego cake, which happens to be a Star Wars Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser cake.... say what?!?!?!?! And I got to meet a nice family with an 8 year old boy who is smart enough to follow Star Wars.
The challenging part about doing this cake was carving it to achieve "C2 symmetry" (for all you chemistry geeks out there). I used a combination of cake and Rice Krispy Treats to get the 'Attack Cruiser' effect. This cake started to come to life after I started putting on the Lego dots. My son's into Legos right now, so I'm thinking a Lego cake for his next birthday - but probably not a Star Wars Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser.
Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Rice Krispy Treats and marshmallow fondant for decorations.
Happy 8th Birthday, Jonathan!
