Carson's Darth Vader Cake

From the start, Tommy and I agreed that Carson could have whatever kind of birthday party he wanted. Wherever he wanted. He chose Star Wars themed...more specifically Darth Vader. He also wanted to have it at his school tomorrow. A Darth Vader party is not complete without a Darth Vader cake. Not the easiest thing to make, which is why I started this morning and not tonight. Very happy I did, because this dessert of darkness has taken me the better half of the day.



Started out making a 9X13 chocolate fudge cake and used one of his actual masks to make a cutout. Then baked another sheet cake.


After allowing time to cool, I carefully stacked the cakes and did a dark chocolate glaze. Then iced Darth by hand looking at the features on the mask.



I hope Carson loves the cake, I sure did love making it for him.
