I'm pretty sure the picture is what used to be a cake. But I'm just guessing here.

Loved this idea. I used it for a Lego Ninjago design. My son wanted a Lego cake, and I saw this and thought it'd be perfect.

I would just like to say, you need a lot of chocolate for this step. Or I did it wrong :)

I ended up using 4 7oz tubs of the chocolate. But I made a double cake. Man my kids loved it. What an awesome cake. And, I couldn't find a R2D2 so Yoda was on the ramekin :)

I am going to make your cake for my grandson, can't thank you enough for sharing this. I need the lights you used, I will go to Walmart cake section for them. What do I ask for? Are they used just for cakes or for other decorating idea. I think that was such a great idea you had. Thanks again, Grandma Sandy

Thanks so much for both suggestions! Interesting site and so if I can't find them perhaps my son wil help me make some. Again, thanks for sharing and taking the time to reply.

did you melt the chocolate over the stove or in the microwave or does it really matter which way you do it?

Okay, I think I figured out how to post to this site. The first photo is of my R2D2s. I'm going to post my own instructable for those. The second is of my cake before I put on the guys and platforms. The third picture is a close-up the guys and platforms. (I know the dry ice can be seen, which I would have corrected if I hadn't run out of time. I kept having trouble making the platforms. Finally, I figured out that if I slit with a knife the edges of the mold before pouring the almond bark, that I could remove the platforms without breaking them.) My advice: Make sure to put enough water in for the dry ice to work well. I used a Red Velvet cake mix for another layer of red. I used chocolate-covered pretzel sticks to hold up the platform. I also used a bit of gel icing to create another 'level' of lava. I didn't leave enough room at the edge of the volcano for Obi Wan to stand, so he had to go up to the really high ground (movie inaccuracy). Thanks again!

Hi are rice crispy treats same as kids breakfast cereal rice bubbles (australian) and how did you make it shaped like that (what did you mix it with). Thanks nat

Thank you so much for the idea. Although my version needed some work, (I had the wrong versions of the characters), the cake was a success. I also came up with an idea to make R2D2s from Twinkies and wafer cookies!

Thanks again for sharing! I was totally inspired and made one for my twins b-day party tomorrow. They just love Star Wars! I am SO NOT a creative person or baker so we'll see what the kids and parents have to say tomorrow. Anyway, I modified the approach a bit since I didn't have time to make rice krispie treats. I just used regular old Betty Crocker cake out of the box and made it a layer cake. I cut off the tops of ice cream cones to make volcanos. Also, I crushed some graham crackers to make a more lava-rocky texture. Finally for the floating lava pieces, I broke up pieces of Crunch chocolate bar. Here's my version.

God, I need to stay out of the food section, that cake looks delicious (as does the one in the instructable). I think crubmled chocolate sould work great for the dirt effect too... :)

What is the material you have laid out there? You used to form rice krispy treats and cool chocolate on?
Dec 3, 2008. 4:20 PMgrlegrl27 says:
I'm planning on making this cake this weekend, but have a question: when frosting the rice crispies and extending it out, do you just cool the frosting in the fridge in order to get it to come out in pieces? Just need some clarity... Thanks!

is this a 13" x 9" or a 15" x 10" cake??????

I made this cake twice already and it has been a major hit both times... I came back today to see if you had a halloween cake :) I guess I will have to do this one on my own... I really really love this cake though, thanks for sharing it...

Thx 4 the idea! It was a big hit! My son said it was awesome!. I skipped the dry ice and the whole step in the white chocolate. I concentrated on the volcano. I also use 2 9 x 13 cakes instead of cutting one in half. Anakin is standing on the Devils food cake (the dark side) and Obi-won was standing on the white cake (The light side) The guest thought that was a cute idea.Also for the Organge frosting I use food coloring and the color spray in orange. Here is my result!
