Lego meets Star Wars meets Cake Pops and 3D Cake!

So,... this past weekend we celebrated my son's 7th birthday with a Lego Star Wars themed party.  He wanted Jedi Luke cookie favors, a 3-D R2-D2 (say that 10 times fast) cake, and I threw in some Yoda Cake Pops for good measure.  Here are some photos of the special event:


Jedi Luke looking like Jedi Frankenstein on the right...


A Jedi reunion...

The finished Cookie favor, complete with a Lego Minifigure packet attached...
My son wanted him holding a green lightsaber, but the best I could do at this point was a green ribbon!  He thought that was a good substitute. :)


The making of R2-D2...

R2-D2 looking like the droid himself...


I ran out of time with the accent fondant, so I started drawing with wild abandonment using a black food coloring pen...  that was fun!  Also, the silver spray paint food coloring I bought for this occasion ran out of "air", so his "head" isn't as silver as I had wanted.  No big deal! ;)



These Yoda cake pops looked so cute without the face, and again -- not something I had planned, but ran out of time decorating...
(fortunately, my 7 year old and his party guests thought they were the best in the world!!)




Cake and cookie favors on display...



My little "big" man and R2-D2...



This shirt just says it all - I mean, the Dark Side and Cookies??  

It just takes the cake!!
