Jedi Master Yoda

So the same boy that turned 6 and had a Yoda birthday cake will be passing out personalized Yoda cookies to his classmates this week.  Using the William Sonoma ® Star Wars™ cookie cutter I imprinted the outline of Yoda on each 3 inch round cookie.  Then I free handed added the detail to each face, and finished each cookie up with the kids name. 

Enjoy! 

“Do or do not... there is no try.”

I have to admit that my "Star Wars" knowledge is lacking, I remember watching the movies when I was a child with my older brother. I remember Yoda, Princess Leia, Hans Solo, and many of the other characters, but I’m not a “Star Wars” buff by any means.

I debated what to do and how to make this cake. At first I thought I would just do Yoda’s head, and then the debate was butter cream or fondant. When I was not pleased with how the Yoda head was turning out as I attempted to make it bigger, I started searching for a different image to use as my guide. I ended up finding one that was more cartoon like, I took the image and then made it larger on poster board. I was going to shape the cake like Yoda himself, but my husband reminded me if I left my cake in the original 11x15 size, I could feed more people.

 

This Yoda cake is a chocolate cake with butter cream, and hopefully he is able to help an awesome 6 year old celebrate his birthday. Enjoy!
