Sunday was my nephews birthday and I offered to make his birthday cake. Of course... I offer during mid term crunch time, but it all worked. He wanted star wars stuff for his birthday... I did some digging and the easiest thing I could come up with was Darth Vader's mask.
It's certainly not prefessional by any means, but he declared how much he liked it and that was good enough for me!
I did make a homemade yellow cake and of course homemade buttercream frosting... very good! I think the cake was a little bit too crumbly, so I'll do some experimenting next time.
I think I might need to go learn some tricks of the trade from one of those Wilton's classes now.

that's awesome! I seem to be surrounded by adventurous cake people - when I make a cake it's from a box and still in the pan!
