Dora vs. Star Wars!

This past weekend was a very special celebration: My son's 5th birthday and my twin daughter's 3rd birthday. They are within a few weeks, so we had one combo party with two very different themes: Dora and Star Wars! I had a blast making the cakes!!!

The Dora cake is a Dark Chocolate Fudge cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant. Dora, Boots and the flowers are made from gum paste. The butterflies are made from poured sugar and painted with a food paint.
The Star Wars cake was a French Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling covered in fondant. The stars, space rocks and mask are made from poured sugar and painted with a food paint. The ship was made from modeling chocolate. The Lightsaber was made out of rice crispies treats and covered in fondant.
