It was terrible. It was like rolling out a very nice pie crust. However, coloring it? Whole other story.
You have to use this gel food coloring. Fine. Just a little bit and then kneed it into the fondant. Gross. The colors were blue and black. Then I used silver edible paint for the silver part.
My fingers are purple. Under my nail bed? It looks like I was gardening and just didn't give a shit about washing my hands. Ugh.
And to top it all off....when I was done, my almost 5 year old informed me I didn't do a part correctly. He wasn't being a dick. He was being a geek. A 5 year old Star Wars geek. If you have one, you know what I'm talking about. If you ARE one...sorry.
Anyway...here it is. In it's Star Wars glory.
Like I said...I am NOT a cake decorator. But I have a semi happy almost 5 year old.
And for Claire's cake, which needs to be made for next week's "girly birthday tea party"? I will be ordering cupcakes. Shaped into a butterfly. Thank you Super Target.
And yes, I have 2 kids with birthdays 2 days apart. I know you feel a little sorry for me.
*I also hate my kitchen floor. Just putting that out there.*

I would have killed someone for that when I was young.
What a fabulous cake! The best cake my mom ever made for me that I remember was a barbie cake. The skirt is baked in a round bottom bowl and then you shove the barbie in the top (after you flip it) and decorate the skirt. I still remember it. This will live in his memories forever! I was a Star Wars geek when the original came out and I didn't notice anything wrong with this...
McVal...you didn't notice it cause I "had" to change it. I'm that mom I guess.
You are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the cake! I may need to hire you to do one for one of my boys some day! :)
Why don't we like kitchen floors? Read this on FB too....just curious. I must be out of the loop on that one!
