Thirteen you are… (Yoda Cake)

August 15, 2008 by angelaskitchen 4 Comments

It’s not official yet, but tonight is the birthday party for my very-soon-to-be thirteen year old.  (…sigh…)  And, yes, instead of a Millennium Falcon cake (all so symmetrical and requiring no special sculpting

skills!) my son went back to asking os so politely if he could have a Yoda cake.  I used the instructions here and here. Thank you to Sandra of SoCake and ‘Schmish’ who not only figured out a how to make a Yoda cake, but posted instructions on the web!  Whew!

My Yoda is a gluten and dairy free, vanilla and chocolate marble cake with fudge style frosting between the layers and under the fondant.  The fondant is homemade marshmallow fondant.  The recipe I followed is here from What’s Cooking America.  I used organic palm oil shortening.  To get the brown colors I kneaded cocoa powder into the fondant, sprinkling on a bit of water as needed, until the desired color was reached.  Yoda’s head is a big krispy ball made from Erowen’s Crispy Brown Rice Cereal and covered in fondant with chocolate fondant creating the underlying bone structure…  Yeah, a bit weird, but tasty.

Happy Birthday!!

Is it just me, or does Yoda look like Darth Mal without his skin?

“Alas, poor Yoda, I knew him well…”

You looking at me?

“Come to the chocolate side of the force.”

Thirteen you are…

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only. I do NOT give permission for any recipe, article, photo, etc. partially or in whole from angelaskitchen.com to be used for profit on another site, in published medium of any kind, or to be copied in part or whole. You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
