Buzz Lightyear Birthday

Happy Birthday Mommy!  I told my littles that they could pick my birthday cake theme this year.  They are slightly obsessed with Buzz Lightyear so it was no surprise that they picked a Buzz Lightyear cake. The bottom tier is false (otherwise this would be WAY too much cake to have around the house for several days).
Chocolate fudge cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant.

Star Wars cookies

My 5 year old loves Star Wars.  He has never actually seen any Star Wars movies, but there is a Star Wars early reader book at kindergarten and he seems to love it.  My brother recently gave me these cookie cutters (Thanks Dave!!) and I've been waiting for the perfect occasion to try them out.  So today, I gave them a shot.  The occasion - nothing really - just that I thought my kids needed some surprise cookies.


My starting point. I traced the cookie cutters and drew in the details that I wanted to put on each cookie.

The starting point - my cookie sketch

Here they are - Darth Vader, Yoda and R2D2,  All the piping was free hand.
