My son just had a birthday, and he requested a Star Wars themed day, so I made him an R2D2 cake. At his request, itt is red velvet cake with vegan cream cheese icing (because he can’t have dairy). I baked 2 square cakes and one round cake and cut the round cake in half for R2D2s head, then cut triangles out of the bottom for he’s feet. I used sparkly Wilton piping gel for the details. He loves it, so I consider it a success.

Thank you everyone! It’s the first cake he’s ever actually eaten, so extra success! Cream cheese icing is harder to decorate with, but I think he just doesn’t like other types of frosting. Fortunately vegan cream cheese tastes just the same as traditional cream cheese in the frosting. I appreciate all the kind words!
