It's hard to believe that my baby brother is turning 40 this year! So, when my cousin planned a big family BBQ I decided to bring a carrot cake covered in cream cheese icing as one of the desserts and to celebrate this milestone. The intent of the icing was to have an ombre effect on this 3 layer 8" carrot cake using lots of cream cheese icing. I know it's one of Geoff's favourite; any vessel to cream cheese icing really. He's a huge Star Wars fan and saw this idea for a cake topper which I knew would be perfect. I cut out 3 layers of card stock on my Cricut machine and glued them together and finished it off with a couple of skewers to stick it in the cake. One of my favourite pictures!
