Our grandson Dane had a birthday coming up and decided on a Star Wars party. His mom covered their living room wall in black paper and I had the job of making the cake. He chose to be Obi Wan Kenobi challenging his cousin as Darth Vader and their sisters were Princess Leia and daughter Rey.
Obi Wan's tunic was improvised with a rectangle of heavy fabric, cut up the front and crisscrossed in front. The belt was just a strip of the same fabric. When we put a hooded jacket over the tunic it was impressive but he really wasn't into wearing it much.
The biggest hit was the light saber with special effect sounds and the kids also used the pool noodles that magically became light beams.
The dark chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting from "Simple Cakes" was delicious. It was such a fun party especially when housebound for weeks on end.
