Last month, I blogged about the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy Birthday Party I threw for my son 3 years ago. Here is the tutorial on how I made the Death Star Cake.

I used the Wilton Ball Cake Pan. Made half Chocolate Fudge Cake and half White Cake for the Light and Dark Sides of The Force. |

The chocolate side was heavier than the white side so I put that on the bottom. Shaved a little off so it would not roll. Thin layer of icing so top layer would stick. |

Placed the white cake half on top and the ball is complete. |

I used the bottom of a paper cut to outline the circle where the laser comes out of the Death Star. |

This little serated knife from our pumpkin decorating kit cut out the laser hole at an angle. |

Here is the cone-shaped hole cut out. |

I used my large pastry bag and icing tip to cover the cake. |

Squeezed the icing on and then used a spatula to smooth it out. |

Here it is all smooth. |

I used gray icing to decorate rest of the Death Star and used green toothpicks to simulate the laser coming out. |
