Star Wars Cake DIY
Chocolate cake layers: for this Oreo cake recipe I went for a moist chocolate cake, which is not made with butter but with oil instead. This makes the cake batter very moist and then I added pieces of Oreo for a little crunch, this is definitely an easy Death Star cake recipe.
Oreo cream cheese frosting: this refreshing cream cheese frosting with Oreos is perfect for this Galaxy chocolate cake recipe because it is super delicious, not too sweet and just perfect. Simply whip up the heavy cream until stiff, separately mix the cream cheese with sugar and fold in the whipped cream. Add gelatin or a vegan variant according to package instructions and then fold in the crushed Oreo pieces. This Star Wars cake recipe is very easy to make and so incredibly delicious. The Oreo frosting goes quite well with the space cake decoration, as it has a gray tone and therefore goes well with the galaxy cake. Let’s go on to the easy Star Wars cake decorations.
Buttercream Galaxy Cake Recipe
I’m showing you how to make a Star Wars Cake design with Swiss Meringue Buttercream to be able to easily make an easy galaxy themed cake yourself. For this we need strong food colorings in black, pink, violet and blue. How to make a galaxy cake? I divided the buttercream into four parts and colored each part with the respective color. The Oreo cake is then covered with the pink, purple and blue buttercream, creating a colorful pattern. Then smooth the frosting a bit with a cake smoother, but do not smudge the frostings too much, then edible Star Wars cake.
Now the black buttercream comes into play, cover the cake almost completely with black buttercream, but leave a few spots free, because when the black buttercream is spread with the cake smoother it’ll cover those areas too. Creating this Star Wars Death Star cake decoration is so easy. Now heat up the cake smoother in hot water, dry it and smooth out the buttercream, now individual spots of the colored buttercream will shine through the black buttercream which creates this universe look for galaxy cake ideas.
How to make Death Star Cake
I made this simple Death Star cake topper myself and I’m showing you here how to make a Death Star cake easy. I ordered the 3D Death Star cake mold here, actually it’s a Death Star ice cube mold, but it works perfectly for making a chocolate Death Star. Melt the dark chocolate and fill into the hole of the mold, slowly turn the death star mold around to fill everything with chocolate and then simply let it dry. It is best to cool before releasing the mold. That’s how easy it is to make the Star Wars edible cake topper once knowing the individual steps.
Star Wars Edible Cake Topper
There are many Death Star cake ideas, but for this Death Star cake tutorial, I wanted the Death Star to shoot on the cake, therefore I heated up a metal straw in hot water and drilled a hole in the chocolate Death Star. I then covered the metal straw with a green paper straw to mimic the Death Star beam. The perfect may the force be with you cake topper.
