R2D2 Star Wars

This cake is my most recent one that i did for the weekend. A friend wanted it to feed approx 60 people. I used 2 x 10" round pans, i cut both in half and used three 1/2's for the body and the other one for the dome top (luckily the cake rose well). I chocolate ganashed it all until it was smooth and covered in white fondant. I then used 2 x rectangular styrofoam cubes for the legs and added some modelling paste at either end it give it some shape and then covered them. In order to get the design perfect i layed a sheet of baking paper cut to size over the body and then drew all the pieces i needed to cut out of blue icing and then layed them out. I found this cake to be a lot more geometric rather than creative, but i had a lot of fun painting the silver on (my first time) and trying to get it looking just right!! Hope you enjoy as much as the 3 boys I made it for.
