It's nearly star wars day. May the 4th be with you. My husband requested a Star Wars cake for his birthday this year, a millennium falcon to be precise. As the millennium falcon is largely monochromatic, but highly detailed, I thought it would be the ideal candidate for a silicone mold. The desert cake part is easy ... »
Disney has a knack for making movies magical. In their latest film, Cinderella's ball gown bounced beautifully as she descended the staircase.
