Perhaps I should have.

When my daughter requested a Star Wars cake for her birthday, I thought it would be fun to figure something out.   But have you ever google searched for Star Wars cakes?  There are an awful lot of bad ones out there.  And while I already know I’m no Duff Goldman, surely I could pull off some kind of Star Wars exploits in icing.

Apparently, like Grand Moff Tarkin smugly accused, I did overestimate my chances.

And did you know that black icing color has a shelf life?  Because this interesting shade of grey is as dark as the icing got.

I have to admit, had the icing actually turned black, the little gel lightsabers would have looked really cute.

But up against that battleship grey- not so much.  Thankfully, my little girl is thrilled with her cake, and even though it looks…odd, at best, it’s going to taste spectacular.

Please don’t alert me if this cake every shows up on Cake Wrecks…

  1. lol at your Cake Wrecks comment.

    as long as she liked it, that’s all that matters, right?

  2. Lol, yes. But I did warn both kids that for future reference, I need more than two days notice to come up with a Star Wars cake.
