I am not a Star Wars fan. Not even in the slightest. Actually I have not seen any of the movies. None. Zero. But at the same time I don't know anybody who would not recognise at least some of the characters of this franchise. Even me. Maybe it is because of the Darth Vader costume that my son chose for last masquerades (which is kind of like our version of the Halloween) or because of the lightsabers that we haaaaad to get (seriously it was like their lives depended on it).
So if a kid wants a Star Wars cake, I think of exactly that: lightsabers and Darth Vader. Oooh and Yoda of course. But my extensive knowledge ends there.
Although I was already provided with a rice paper transfer of some sort of space ship (I am telling you I am clueless), I couldn't resist adding a few of details, to make the cake feel more mine.
Sweet little Yoda looks complicated to make, but it really isn't, take my word for it. I sometime struggle with a character, which just would not look like I want it, but Yoda is luckily still so popular that someone tackled this task before me and was kind enough to give a step by step tutorial on how to do it. A nice Dutch girl, who uses the name the Cake Duchess, was of immense help to me and her tutorial was super helpful.

I opted to only ganache the cake without any fondant and here is the final result. In the word of Yoda: "Cute cake, this is. Yes, hmmmmmm."
