Strawberry Stuffed Jar Jar Binks Cheesecake

Everyone hated this dessert.

Not because it tasted bad. Just because of the Jar Jar things about it. And Jar Jar needs to be cut into pieces.

This is a plain cheesecake recipe I found here. I made it, chopped in about a container of strawberries, piped Jar Jar on, and put a fruit by the foot tongue on the whole thing. I loved it, the foot tongue made me endlessly happy.

As did cutting up his face. He's annoying but, he tasted divine.

Han-Clair Carbonite Cake

So remember this recipe I made here? Yes. It's my favorite. I made it for this party and put a Han solo action figure in it. And then I dusted it with powdered sugar. 

Look how yummy those layers are. Ignore the tortured Han hand peeking out and just be amazed by the yummy dessert here.

This is powdered Han. I liked how it looked a little bit later when the sugar dissolved into the chocolate. 

Here we are slightly dissolved.

He's all frozen in the chocolate equivalent of Carbonite. Color me obsessed with this dessert.

Freedom! Messy messy freedom. 

Make and enjoy this! I SERIOUSLY love it!!!!!! :)

Darth, C3PO, & R2D2 Assorted Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cupcakes

These are Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcakes that are filled with Chocolate Covered, Peanut Butter, filled Pretzels. Yep. Long name.

In the shape of C3PO, Darth, and R2D2. They look just as good cut up as they do geeked.

Look at that filling. Yummm. They are next to my Cookies and Cream Cupcakes which I decorated to look like Lei and Ewoks. Way WAY too much fun.

To make C3P0, I iced the cupcake with yellow icing, pipped some details with orange, and then put two orange pretzel M&Ms on as eyes. I added some black for eyes and a line'd mouth. 

Saw these on this pic on flickr and decided I could make something like it. I piped the sabers, rolled a Reisen flat, cut it up into the shape of a helmet, and iced on the Darth details. It worked like a charm! And then I had a lot of the chocolate caramels left at the party. 

See? Yum.

R2D2 cupcakes! They are just iced freehand. Turned out fun. I beeped a lot while serving.

Cloud City Taffy Apple Salad

Looks just like Cloud City, right?

It's also a very weird recipe. I love it but, it's super strange.

It's a lot of strange ingredients that taste EXACTLY like a taffy apple with nuts when all combined. It's strange. But kind of amazing. I added some pink dye to make it go with the pink clouds which are just marshmallows dipped in pink'd white chocolate and some more marshmallows stuck to the sides to add cloud shapes. I found some petal wrappers that worked really well. This was the surprise treat of the party! Everyone looked at it with a questioning gaze and then ate it with gusto. The frog guts ACTUALLY were the more shocking winning dish but, I was happy my friends enjoyed this recipe. 

Make and enjoy :)

Leah & Ewok Assorted Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

These are vanilla cupcakes with some oreos crushed inside and then one making the case. The outsides are also decorated with oreos and they look like Ewoks and Lei. 

They were adorable. And delicious.

Here's a shot of the inside. Next to the image of the cupcake interior below you'll notice the chocolate peanut butter cupcakes that are filled with peanut butter, chocolate filled, pretzels. Those were my favorite. They weren't decorated as Ewoks though, which won my heart. They were decorated as C3PO, Darth, and R2D2. But anyway! Back to these. 

GOSH! Look how friggin cute these cupcakes are! I love Ewoks. They are so cute. They make the 3rd movie 1,000 times more adorable and amazing. I messily iced it, pushed some crushed oreos on as the face, piped the hood-line, and covered up any oreo pieces. Then I put two mini oreos in as ears and piped some chocolate eyes and a nose on.

These cupcakes are iced with some vanilla icing I twinged with pink. I stuck two large oreos on the side with some messy icing, piped some black hair bangs, and then used heart and circle sprinkles for her lovely lil face. Loved this!

Both cupcakes went over well. I liked them lots. Hope you kids do too.

Yoda Swamp Soda

This is Yoda Swamp Soda! Or a Mojito. Whichever you'd like to call it.

These are my Star Wars drink stirrers. They are stirrers with the ends wrapped in tin foil with some Sharpie engravings and buttons. They make me endlessly happy.

As did the swamp soda. All minty and delicious. Mark mixed these up too but! Here's a basic recipe for you.

2 oz Bacardi® light rum
1/2 oz peppermint schnapps
1/2 oz Grey Goose® Le Citron vodka (or other lime vodka)
1/2 lime (about 4 wedges)
12 fresh mint leaves
ice
3 oz club soda
2 tsp sugar

Enjoy :)

Death Star Ritz Crackers

These went over SUPER well at the party. They were just way way too fun. And I got mad props for making my own ritz crackers!

I Told people to use them in the Sarlacc Pizza Dip but, they were popping them plain! They were buttery and delicious and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I got the recipe from this amazing blog here. I would totally make these again with a less pesky shape. Death stars = less than ideal. Although, super geeky. And super fun.

Make and enjoy!
