Star Wars Themed birthday food!

For peter's birthday gathering I decided to make star wars themed food.
We ended up making 4 star wars themed foods.

1. Light Sabers! We melted white chocolate and dyed it green, blue, and red (no purple b/c peter would have gotten angry if i acknowledged samuel l jackson's purple saber)
2. Princess Leia cupcakes. M&M buns and frosted faces. Not that well done since i'm not that artistic, but you get the idea

3 and 4. Using the william sonoma cookie cuters I made yoda and storm trooper cookies.




Ideas I didnt follow through with:
* Han Solo action figure in Jello (carbonite clearly). Someone suggested I turn this into Jello shots, but I was afraid people would accidentally eat the han solo figurines.
* Death Star Truffles, pretty easy to make a chocolate truffle look vaguely like the death star
* Luke's severed Hand. At halloween Diana took a latex glove and filled it with water and froze it to have ice hands floating in the punch, I figured this might be able to be adapted for the star wars purpose as well.
* Home made marshmallows for cloud city

  1. Dang that is going all-out with the severed ice hands. Save that for the next Evil Dead-themed party.
