LEGO Star Wars Death Star Cake

  

This Death Star Cake was based on the LEGO Death Star.  My daughter and I made this open Death Star Cake for my son’s 9^th birthday.  He loves LEGO and Star Wars.

 

This cake includes figure and scenes of:

–the Emperor’s throne with Emperor and Red Guard figures

–Obi Wan and Darth Vader fighting.  Their lightsabers were candles which we lit when we sang Happy Birthday.

–the black conference table

–the tower guns

–Dred Priest figure (from Extended Star Wars Universe-one of my son’s favorite characters)

–Death Star Turbo Laser Dish

–Prison cell with Han Solo storm trooper figure

–Trash compactor with Luke Skywalker storm trooper figure, Princess Leia Organa figure, and trash compactor monster figure

–Imperial Shuttle with Storm Trooper figure

–Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca figure

–Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter

 

Additional posts will follow on how we made each figure and scene on the cake as well as recipes for the cakes.
