I baked and decorated an Artoo-Deetoo cake for my boyfriend's birthday :) This was an interesting experience since I've never really "decorated" a cake per se before. I mean, sure, I can bake one from a box and smear frosting all over it (who can't?), but doing artwork in the medium of cake and frosting? That's a different matter.
So I got these tubes of decorating frosting in black and blue with these plastic tips for making different shapes - but I really only needed the one that lets you draw lines. Working from a line drawing I'd made of Artoo I set about decorating. Took about an hour or so to carve the marble sheet cake into a vaguely Astromech silhouette and get it frosted. The final touch was to put some cherry Twizzlers on his feet for wiring.
Ok, so maybe I don't have a future as a pastry chef, but it was kind of a fun little "art project" and the best part was that I got to help EAT IT afterwards!

It was then the monster, who dwelled in the underworld, was blinded by a flash from the Warrior Princess' sword. Bleeding profusely as the monster lay dying it gurgled a sharp tongue within its foul mouth, the words unintelligible - but the quiver in its brow conveyed a confused "Why?" Understanding this the Warrior Princess casually wiped the creature's fetid blood from her blade and replied "Because if you haven't anything nice or useful to say, you shouldn't say anything at all." And with that the Troll expired.
