Light Saber Cake Ideas
A Star Wars lightsaber cake is a very popular design for this party theme. There are many ways in which you can create a lightsaber cake and even the novice baker will be able to pull this off. The basic instructions include baking a 9" X 13" cake then cutting the cake up into pieces. Once the cake is cut, arrange the pieces alongside each other to create the lightsaber. The cake is then frosted or covered in fondant. The lightsaber handle can be frosted or covered with a different colored fondant. You can add more details to the handle if you chose to.
The lightsaber cake image pictured here was provided courtesy of You, On a Cookie. This design is currently their most popular cake. The lightsaber is made of hard candy. A mold making kit was purchased to help them create the shape. They even backlit the lightsaber by placing glow sticks behind it so that when the lights went out... the saber glowed! The finished lightsaber is then placed on a cake covered in fondant or buttercream and accented with personalized edible cake images.

3D Yoda Cake
Sandra (socakes) provides a complete photo tutorial on how to create a 3D Yoda birthday cake. Start with a 6" round cake pan and a bowl shaped tin. Once cooled, stack the cakes and cover in buttercream. The body is then covered in green and brown fondant. Yoda's head is created out of chocolate crackle (like rice crispy treats) and inserted using a bamboo skewer into the body. For full cake instructions including photos visit Sandra's blog.

Death Star Cake Photos
Death Star Cake
A Star Wars Death Star cake can be created by baking a cake in a Wilton Ball Cake Pan. Once the cake is cooled and the ball shape is formed, cover the entire cake in buttercream.
Then, you can do one of two things.
- Cut out pieces of fondant and attach them randomly around the ball as you see in Photo #1.
- Cover the entire cake ball in fondant and using a sharp edge/knife make indents in the cake to form the squares as you see in Photo #2.
Both cakes would be great for your birthday party!

Lego Star Wars Cake
To create a Lego Star Wars cake, you can bake a sheet cake and then top it with mini Lego Star Wars figures. Or, you could bake Lego shaped cakes and add the figures to that instead. Another idea would be to add a Lego Star Wars edible cake image to your home baked cake.

Star Wars Cake TalkLoading...
I enjoy making my son's birthday cakes. Although he's 12 now, he keeps coming up with more elaborate ideas. He'll love to see these! I love the lightsaber cake, especially the idea of lighting it up with a glow stick.
Oh I adore the Yoda one especially. If I was an android I would easily marry him, I have always thought how cute he is ROFL. Omg this really shows how creative people can be to come up with these brilliant designs. This one now brings back memories of the Super Mario one, that was awesome too. I love fun creative hubs like these. You have excelled yourself again, may the force be with you. (VAROOM) ....the engine noise of a Jedi fighter plane haha. :)
Woops had to come back forgot to press the up button LMAO :)
I love the creativity of these cake designs as well. I wish I was half as talented as these decorators. I have been so inspired that I am considering taking some Wilton cake decorating courses at my local craft store.
It's amazing how Star Wars continues to be such a favorite. I make Star Wars costumes, and birthday presents represent a big part of my buyers. Not just for kids either. Very nice designs. My sons, age 21 and 25 would love one of these Star Wars cakes!
LOL! Great hub! The Darth Vader and Yoda cakes had me rolling! It prompted me to do a google search on Star Wars birthday cakes and there are some REALLY bad ones out there, though I'm sure they're fun for the kids. The scary part was, most of 'em say "Happy 40th" on the top. :-O Thanks for the laugh! ROFL!
I love the 3D Yoda. I'll never have the time or talent to make something so wonderful, but I love looking at other people's creations.
What a fun page! Loved the Yoda and Chewbacca cakes the best.
Wow these are awesome. I especially love the light saber cake. My little guy would go nuts over any one of them. He's 6 and Star Wars is HUGE with the boys right now. Thanks for sharing...and inspiring! :o)
I am only 13 years old and i want to know how to decorate an easy cake, (starwars)for my 16 yr old brother. i cant do any of that fancy-shmacy stuff. i can decorate very well, but i have trouble coming up with ideas!! any suggestions?
@13yrs: In my opinion, the easiest Star Wars cake to make would be to use an edible cake image. Maybe you can have someone purchase one for you. Then, you can bake a basic cake at home and decorate with white icing. Once the icing is finished, you then place the cake image on top. These cake images are very cool and you can even personalize it with your brother's name. Good luck!
Here's a link to a Republic Attack Gunship Cake that I made last year.
@Between the Pages: Great cake! Thanks for sharing the link. :)
I'm making my son a R2D2 cake for his 40th. I love the ideas from the internet.
These are great! I don't have to wait to have kids to want to try one of these. Both my husband and I (and a lot of our friends) would be thrilled to have one of these awesome Star Wars cakes! Of course, he's the baker, so he'd probably be better at cake making than me!
Want to make a star wars cake for my son who is going to be 22. Not just for kids! Great info, thanks.
These are wonderful. if only i could have persuaded my wife to have the Yoda cake as a wedding cake.
Looking to use the Building Block Cake recipe to build a lego star wars cake. Thanks for the great idea. I know my son, who is going to be 9, is going to love it!
@Loraine: I am glad my page has provided you with ideas for your Star Wars cake. Hope your son has a wonderful birthday party!
Wow amazing and informative site, well done.
After watching Ace of Cake make a R2D2 cake I had to give it a go. I made it before seeing this page I think I did an ok job :o)
Awesome Star Wars cake Emma! Thanks for sharing. :)
I love the Yoda cake. I wonder if my nephew got scared of it if I give it on his b-day.:)
Cakes look awesome!!! How do u get the starwars logo so perfect???
Hello Janet21. I was checking your website, and seen the picture of the lightsaber cake. And was wondering how they did the saber part. It said they had a mold??? Where could i get one? Thanks..
@Raffy; The Star Wars cakes displayed on this page were created by talented cake artists. That is why the logo looks amazing! :)
@Christina; That Star Wars light saber cake was created by You, On a Cookie. You could try contacting this cake decorator via her flickr page to find out where she purchased the mold.
So creative. Definitely the star attraction at any party.
