This was my first 3D cake. I made it 2 years ago for my boyfriend’s son’s 9th birthday. It was a surprise to both of them. Cody’s face when he saw it was priceless as it was almost like “cool R2D2 but where is my cake?” lol

I followed an excellent tutorial by Stacked Cakes who even provided templates. Great help!! Mine wasn’t as fancy as hers as she even had a sound module in the one she did! Maybe one day I’ll attempt some cool effects with one of my cakes……

He is supported on a base made of MDF. The legs are built up using styrofoam & the body is all cake (cocoa banana cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting). Details are done in fondant & sugar paper. In total I probably spent 16hrs creating him!
