R2D2 Cake

R2D2 Cake
Originally uploaded by MamaT.

My G used to make the best cakes. Whatever Lucas and I could dream up, she could make. Throughout the years, we had Darth Vader, R2D2, A Wizard of Oz scene, Castles, Sesame Street theme, various dolls, and many many others. For the older 'kids', she made golf courses, backgammon tables, horse racing scenes, a flower box with Hyacinths, and (again) many, many others. G could make a wedding cake that could compete with any professional.
G's peanut men ruled. She'd glue little shells or something similar on top for hats, push pipe cleaners through for arms and legs, and draw a little face with a black felt marker. G's creativity with decorating cakes and cookies knew no bounds!
