When my eldest son asked for a star wars AT-AT walker cake (All Terrain Armored Transport) my immediate thought was that it is not really a cake-friendly shape. \u00a0So I\u00a0suggested we had a ginger bread ‘cake’ instead.<\/p>\n

To my surprise the kids ate all that was on their plates and even asked for more. \u00a0Which, as all the mums reading this post know, never usually happens at these parties.<\/p>\n

To make the cake I printed out some AT-AT pictures and drew the pieces on paper. \u00a0Then I made the gingerbread\u00a0using this recipe.<\/a>

Assembling the AT-AT Cake <\/strong><\/h4>\n

For the assembly I placed wooden skewers in the icing on the underside of the top legs to support them.<\/p>\n

\"\"I ‘glued’ together the body and the head using royal icing<\/span><\/span>.<\/a> While it was drying I used cup handles to support the pieces. \u00a0I left it overnight to dry hard before decorating.
\n\"\"The next day I put all the AT-AT on the cake board and covered it with grey royal icing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using some grey fondant<\/a> I added the 3D details and then brushed on some black colouring and bronze luster dust to make it look older. \u00a0The ‘snow’ is just icing sugar.<\/p>\n
