Nice job. How did you make the cake? Was it carved out of sheet cake?

Great cake. This is what my son keeps telling me he wants for his birthday too. I would also like to know how you did it and any tips :-)

Thanks for all the nice comments! I baked a 9x13 cake. I made 3 lengthwise cuts along the cake. The first 3 1/2" from the side and straight down (this became the handle), the second 61/2" from the side and the last cut at a slight angle to make the tip. Then I put the three pieces end to end and tapered the point. Then I covered with buttercream. Finally, I made the marshmellow fondant from this site. The hardest part was the green, it was so big, it tore. May need a 2nd set of hands.

This is so cool! If you don't mind me asking - what shade of green did you use for the light saber?
