Stormtrooper Cake Recipe
Stormtrooper Cake
Stormtrooper cake
Ingredients
- 9" x 13" sheet cake, baked from your favorite recipe
- 2 cupcakes
- White frosting
- Dark chocolate frosting
- Black decorator icing
- Black decorator gel
- #10 decorator tip
- Parchment paper
- Scissors
Instructions
- Draw a helmet template, cut it out, and trace it onto parchment paper.
- Cut the template from the parchment paper and place it on the cooled 9" x 13" cake.
- Run a sharp knife around the edge of the template. This will score the cake and leave the outline of the template.
- Remove the template and cut out the helmet shape using a serrated knife.
- Remove the excess cake.
- Use a knife to draw a line a few inches from the top of the helmet. Frost the cake with white frosting below the line and chocolate frosting above the line.
- For the ears of the Mickey hat, frost the top and sides of the cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Place the cupcakes at the top of the helmet.
- Once the cake is frosted, place a #10 tip on the tube of black decorator icing.
- Use a knife to lightly outline the stormtrooper's features.
- Once you are happy with the outlined features, it's time to use the black decorator icing to pipe on the Stormtrooper's eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Use the gel icing for finer details, as it has a smoother consistency and the tube has a narrow tip.
