How to make a Death Star cake
Вставка

- Calling all Star Wars fans! How EPIC is this cake?!?! This Star Wars cake is the perfect birthday cake for any Star Wars fan, so give it a go!
My main tip with this cake is BE PRECISE! Measure, double check, and measure again. In order to have a perfect sphere look, you need to pay attention to the detail from start to end.
My second tip is, if you plan to transport this cake, spend time on planning and implementing a strong support structure for the cake, otherwise your Death Star will roll with the first pothole you hit, and all your hard work will be for nothing.

This is the way! 🎂🥳👍
LOVE this Cornel!! I’ve made a freestanding R2D2 utility before for my step-son. I think I’ll try this for his next birthday. Love the piping petals tutes too btw!!
Thank you! Yes the death star was a lot of fun to make 😍
I can just imagine trying to make all those pieces on the outside! 😫 Hours of work! Amazing, as always x
It was surprisingly time consuming to do those blocks, because u have to be so precise! 😅🧐
This was absolutely brilliant! Thank you. I have a 9 yr old who is going to be VERY surprised to see their cake this year!
Another amazing creation. Looking forward to seeing what your next one will be. 🎂
Hi! This is amazing, I don't understand why you don't have more likes!! Do you hace some kind of template or stencil with the measurements of the pieces? I would like to try to do this cake 😊
Thank you! My channel is still fairly new, so the likes will come with time :)
I didn't use a stencil or template. I simply measure the size between the top and middle of the sphere, and worked out how tall each row of blocks should be. From there, it's simply using a ruler and cutting blocks randomly.
May I ask how much you charged for that cake?
How do you know in which sices the outside pieces have to be? It looks absolutely perfect
The width doesn't matter and can be random, but keep the height of each row of blocks the same. Measure the height of your hemisphere once covered in fondant and work out how tall each row should be, leaving space between each row, and space at the top for a circle shape.
This is amazing! May I ask where you got your 8 inch circle tins from please? X
Thank you! I got mine from Cake Stuff, but any cake supplies company will have them in stock.

Cake looks great but I cannot see the video it’s going to fast can you please post it in real time for those of us with bad vision?
How long did the decorating take?
Hours!!! I can't remember exactly, it's quite a while back I've done that cake, but it was a looooong time to decorate
That’s no cake. It’s a space station
