A lot of the kids parties we’ve gone to lately have been Star Wars themed. It must be making a comeback with the youngling set and I am the go-to for birthday cupcakes. I wonder why that is…oh yeah, the Ultimate Star Wars Party!
I made some very cool cupcakes for a fun Star Wars birthday using Williams Sonoma cookie cutters. Vanilla Yoda cupcakes for the Rebels and Chocolate Vader cupcakes for those who belong on the dark side. I think you know which ones my kids chose.
ingredients:
Vanilla cupcakes
Vanilla buttercream
Green Tea cookies
Chocolate cupcakes
Chocolate buttercream
Chocolate cookies
I made Vanilla cupcakes and frosted them with a vanilla buttercream and chocolate cupcakes frosted with chocolate frosting.
For the cookies I made green tea cookies and using my handy dandy Yoda cutter, cut out lots of the little green jedi master.
Then I made a chocolate roll out dough and cut out tons of Vader heads. Scaaary.
Once the cookies were cooled and crisp, I pressed them onto the top of the frosted cupcakes.
I love cookies as toppers for cupcakes…it’s two desserts in one!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
love cookies on cupcakes too! very cute.
you are so creative. how do i follow your blog?
Love this idea. Just ordered my cookie cutters. Can’t wait to make these for my son’s birthday. Thank you!
I hope it’s not too late for your to get this. This is the BEST idea EVER. Thank you so much for sharing it. You’re saving my sister and I an evening of frustration and subsequent party humiliation. (which, let’s admit, can also be entertaining)
