Now I know why Duff never wants to stick around and cut the cake that he made. I felt his pain when I had to cut up the light saber cake. It is like cutting out a little piece of your heart and soul - and hours of hard work.I was so happy with it. It turned out great. I have never used fondant before and was not sure what to expect. It is a little difficult to work with but the end result could not have been achieved with traditional frosting. Oh, and our wedding cake lady was right - it really doesn't taste that good.
Evan was very excited that he was able to help "paint" the light saber.
I love the silver dust on the handle. Mix it with vodka and brush it on. The vodka evaporates and the dust stays. I got to use a lot of different mediums that I have never used before on this cake.
Now that I have done it once, there are many things that I would do differently - but not too bad for a first try.

That light saber turned out AWESOME!! How cool. Ev must have absolutely loved it. I think The Duff is rubbing off onto you.
It's a masterpiece cake! So cool. I wish I could have tasted it. The other cake was good, but yours looked better.
Wow - very impressive. Your kids are so fortunate that you put such an effort into making things so special for them.
