I am forever indebted to Chef Max<\/a> and Fish Mama<\/a> for this cake. After discussing my sliding castle cake<\/a> last week on Twitter, Chef Max gave me two excellent cake decorating tips, straws and cold.<\/p>\n

Apparently people who decorate cakes more often than the 7 times a year (like me) use straws to keep gravity from wrecking their cakes, who knew?<\/p>\n

I found the idea for this Star Wars cake in Fish Mama’s<\/a> eBook Pretty Cook Cakes. My son looked over this book about a hundred times and finally decided on the Star Wars cake for his 7th birthday.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

This cake was so easy to make, I couldn’t believe it when I finished it in under an hour. The best part about it is that you use canned frosting! I love my butter cream frosting, but with everything going on around here, canned frosting was a life saver!<\/p>\n

My cake decorating confidence has been restored and my soon to be seven year-old is already in love with his cake.<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/a><\/p>\n

This cake uses three mini muffin loaf pans, one round pan, and one cake cooked in a cereal bowl. The rocks are candy and I used red frosting in a tub that you can find in the baking aisle for the lava.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/a><\/p>\n

The nice thing about this cake is that you don’t want your frosting smooth, so even a child could make this cake with great results! In fact, my kids helped make most of this Star Wars cake.<\/p>\n
