It is pretty easy to make without needing a lot of cake decorating experience.
Here are the instructions or just watch the video:
Equipment - 12-inch round cake pan - Scissors Stormtrooper stencil (find it online) - Cake board (optional) - Knife - brush - Water - rolling pin - Silicone Mat (Optional)
Ingredients - 1 Standard cake (with required ingredients) cake mix, homemade, etc. (15 oz/430g) - 10 oz Frosting - 14 oz White fondant - 2 oz Black fondant
Instructions
- Bake the cake in a 12 inch round or 13×9 inch rectangle pan according to the recipe and allow it to cool completely.
- Print out the Stormtrooper face stencil. You can find several online. You may need to scale it up on a sheet of paper to get the size you want.
- Cut around the stencil with scissors so you just have the Stormtrooper face.
- Remove cake from the pan and place on a cutting board. Set the stencil on top and trim around it with a knife. Save the trimmed cake pieces for cake pops or cakesicles or just snack on them.
- Add cake to a cake board if desired. Frost the entire trimmed cake.
- Knead a large chunk of white fondant and then roll it out, on parchment paper or a silicone mat until it is about two inches larger than the stencil all around and about 1/8th inch thick.
- Cover the cake with the white fondant and smooth it with your clean hands and fingers. Form it around the cake the best as you can.
- Trim the excess fondant from the base of the cake with a knife.
- Cut the black band at the top of the stencil, the eyes, nose piece, mouthpiece, and two circles out of the Stormtrooper stencil.
- Knead and roll out a chunk of black fondant. Then place the stencil pieces on it and cut all of them out.
- Use the main stencil as a guide on the cake and place the black pieces where they belong on the face. Use a brush with a tiny bit of water to hold the black fondant face pieces on the cake.
- Add the little white fondant pieces on the nose part if desired.
- Roll a small piece of black fondant into a thin snake and trim 8 pieces. Set those on the cheek parts of the Stormtrooper cake. Use water as necessary to hold it down.
- The Star Wars Stormtrooper cake is done. Enjoy!
