Vader and the Stormtroopers...

As promised, here are pics of the birthday treats that took up a good chunk of my time away. Apparently I wasn't thinking clearly enough to take them out of their travel containers to take the pictures. I'm just glad I didn't forget entirely. It's happened...
As I was drawing my very first stormtropper on the homemade marshmallow fondant, I asked Thing 2 how it looked. "Well, Mama, it kind of looks like a stormtrooper monkey." They're nothing if not honest. I think they turned out OK. Though one dad at the party thought they were bugs...sheesh.
And to Lindsay who said 2 1/2 weeks of company is a long time...Amen, sister!

Aw, I think they're great! My mom made an Ewok face cake one time, complete with that coconut pecan frosting to make it look furry. :-D

Wow. Those are incredible. Am feeling a little guilty about my Sam's Club cupcakes at the Pea's birthday party last year.

Two and half weeks?! Yep, that would be about my sanity limit.

But I think you have a real talent! And I'm nothing if not honest either.

Thanks for sharing!

Those are wonderful. I'll bet if my kids saw that, they'd wish you were their mom instead of me.
