R2-D2 cake





The Star Wars party was a really really REALLY big deal, so we had to come up with a cool cake! The idea for te R2-D2 cake came from the 'Betty Crocker Bake-N-Fill pan', which includes a pan shaped like a dome - the perfect head for R2. Then it was just a matter of supporting the lower layers of the cake with PVC pieces, with disposable cakeboards in between each layer. The buttons on R2 were all candy, and the blue sections were rolled fondant. (the legs are cardboard covered in buttercream icing - couldn't come up with a good way to secure actual cake onto the sides of this one!)
