Happy birthday to my boyfriend! We both are big fans of Star Wars, so naturally I had to make him a R2D2 cake. It was so much fun to make! This is actually my first character cake, I think that for a first time I did quite well, if I may say so myself haha<\/span>.<\/p>\n

He really likes chocolate cake so I baked chocolate cake, I used a round cake pan for the head the make the shaping of the cake a lot easier, since it was already round. I had picture of R2D2 near me so I could look at it while carving the cake with a serrated knife to the right shape. After a while of shaping the cake I crumb coated it in Swiss meringue botercr\u00e8me<\/span>, after the crumb coat was set I covered it with another layer of botercr\u00e8me<\/span>.<\/p>\n

For the decorations I covered the head first with black fondant. And since that was the only part just on the cake I could freely dust it with some silver luster dust. Then I rolled out some white fondant and covered the rest of the cake, being careful not to drag the dusted part in the white fondant while smoothing the fondant. After that I made all the other little details, and let me tell you that took some time haha<\/span>. But I just kept looking at my picture to make sure it was the right shape and placed correctly. I also made indents with a sculpting tool, and a ruler came really in handy! The black eyeball I made by rolling out my black fondant pretty thick and then laid a piece of plastic wrap over it and cut it with a circle cutter. By doing it like this the edges will automatically curve. I also wanted the eye and the red light to be shiny so I painted on some piping gel. At the end I painted al the panels that needed some silver, with silver luster dust diluted with a flavourless<\/span> alcohol I used vodka (the alcohol will evaporate so you won’t taste it and it is still kids proof). After that my cake was done!<\/p>\n

This was quite a difficult cake to make, I measured and calculated the size, pan sizes and how to cut the cake in advance to make it a bit easier for myself when I was making it. But that alone took me at least an hour, then some thinking over and adjusting haha<\/span>. But it was all worth it! I think it looks really cool! My mom told my she showed it to her colleagues and they were like “A, oke<\/span>…“<\/span> Then she sad that it was cake and the needed to see it again because they didn’t believe her haha<\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
