Star Wars Birthday Cake

We celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday today, and of course, another year means another fun cake! Ethan is a huge fan of Darth Vader right now. (I've tried to explain to him that Darth Vader is actually the bad guy, but Ethan still appreciates his superior light saber handling skills, deep voice, and wicked awesome cape. It's hard to argue with sound logic like that.) So to commemorate his interest in the Dark Side, my mom and I did our best to craft a Darth Vader cake. This was my first foray into the realm of fondant (and perhaps my last...the stuff was a huge pain to work with...) and while we had our challenges, I'm relatively pleased with the way it turned out. Most of all, Ethan seemed to like it. That's all that matters!
Happy Birthday, Ethan!
