Simple Homemade R2-D2 Birthday Cake

A R2-D2 Birthday Cake was what my youngest son wanted for his third birthday. I brought a very simple solution, but it was very joyfully appreciated!

I used normal sponge cake, divided in three layers, and cut the necessary droid parts (dome, body, arms) out of this sponge cake. Any favorite filling may be put in between the layers – I used jam, fresh berries and whipped cream – and the whole was iced with whipped cream.

Decorations are blue icing gel, black icing sauce and silver decorative sugar balls. Find whatever looks appropriate for a droid here, and print out a picture of R2-D2 to emulate the real thing.

Both boys absolutely loved it, although it admittedly looks VERY home-made indeed!
