Storm Trooper Star Wars Cupcakes
We just finished up on a round of birthdays in our house.
Minions ruled the world last year, didn’t they?
But I also know that Star Wars is going to take over!Â

Let cool completely, and then frost.
Step 3: While the cupcakes are cooling prepare your storm troopers (marshmallows).
After testing these I found it was much easier to make the faces with the black food grade marker.
First add a line across the top, and then make two triangles for the eyes.
Add the mouth and breathing lines off to the side to complete your Storm Trooper.
Step 4: Generously frost each cupcake, for easy frosting I use this cupcake decorating set.
Carefully add your Storm Troopers in the center of the cupcake.
Step 5: Enjoy and rock the party!

If I had a cool black food marker like that I’d let my son make those this weekend. I wonder if melted chocolate would be too difficult to decorate the marshmallow with or even make them melt. Thanks for sharing the cute idea.
Food markers aren’t expensive and they last a while… I’ve used them for other food projects throughout the year. I’m always glad to have them on hand.
Totally adorable! Pinned and tweeted to share. Thank you for linking up with us for Snickerdoodle Sunday!
So cute! My little guy is slightly Star Wars obsessed right now, so he is going to LOVE these!
LOL! Star Wars is a life-long obsession. Be prepared 😀
These are so freakin’ cute! So creative! My son would LOVE them!
And they’re easy to do… shhh. Don’t give away my secret 🙂
These are amazing! Thanks for sharing! I have a 5 year old nephew who would love a storm trooper cupcake!
Let me know if you make them for your nephew! We are HUGE Star Wars fans in our house.
they are fab, my youngest will be 17 next birthday but I’m thinking he will love them!
Even my husband went nuts over these 🙂 Enjoy!
Hey there! I really enjoyed this post!
