Xander

The 23rd of May was my son's 8th birthday . Xander LOVES Star Wars, so it was a "no-brainer" when it came to his class cupcakes & birthday cake!

2 years ago I started a dangerous trend . . . . . . making special cupcakes for my children to take to school on their birthdays to share with their class & teachers . Why is that dangerous you ask? Simply because each year, I must outdo the previous year's cupcakes!

Xander took 30 "Lego Star Wars" cupcakes this year .

When my husband suggested I create R2D2 for Xander's cake, I initially scoffed at the idea . . . . 30 seconds later my mind was spinning with ideas and the method of construction .

4 days later . . . . . .

 Inside, the cake was red velvet with blue cream cheese frosting . Very yummy indeed .

 And remember when I mentioned danger? Yes, this means I must make a cake of even higher levels of "awesomeness" next year! *GULP!*
