Darth Vader Birthday Cake

My boyfriend is a Star Wars fanatic. He is no child but does collect a lot of toys. I made this cake for his 28th birthday. I made a plain chocolate box cake in a square spring form pan. I frosted it with chocolate icing. I found an image of Darth Vader on line, printed it and cut out all the areas I wanted to be filled in white.

I made this the night before his birthday and initally used powdered sugar to fill in the white areas. In the morning the sugar had melted. I then went back over the cake with white piping to get the effect I was after. He loved it and the cake was a hit.
