Are you looking for a 3D Darth Vader?

You could do a FBCT (Frozen buttercream transfer). I have only made one FBCT and I did it with the help of these instructions. It was a Darth Vader for my DH's 30th bd.

My cake is not "decorator quality" by any means. But it was very easy for this newbie to follow the directions.

thanks whimsy-chick just what i was looking for ..you guys rock on here

For the few I've done, I always build the facial features first out of cake - directly on the base cake. It's fairly easy - a brow line, a nose line, eyes, etc. Anyway, after building the facial stuff, allow to set-up and then overlay the fondant. Use your fingers to smooth the fondant around the features - then pipe in the details.

I just got a call for a darth vader cake....and went staright to CC because I know the "experts" would have the answers on how to make this cake!

Thanks again
