R2D2 Star Wars Birthday Cake

Something very exciting and a little scary happened here last week...

My daughter became a teenager!

Gladly, she did not morph overnight into a self-absorbed, constantly texting drama queen.

But I really wasn't worried about that...

I sometimes think that God sent me the easy child first, so that I would have more children!

Our oldest child, Brynn, is unique and wonderful in so many ways.

Her loves are:

Star Wars,

sewing,

reading non-stop,

making origami animals,

and her two pet snakes.

For her birthday, she requested a cake with R2D2 on the top.

So, I made this buttercream transfer!
This decorating technique involves piping buttercream frosting on to a template,
then transferring it to your cake.

Cute little droid, isn't he?

Do you have a Star Wars fan in your family?
You can find my R2D2 template (made by my graphic designer hubby) here.

And my step-by-step tutorial on how to make a buttercream transfer is here.
