What You Will Need

For Chewbacca:

  • 3 tbsp chocolate frosting
  • 1 cupcake
  • 2 Candy eyeballs
  • 1 tbsp Black fondant
  • 12 White nonpareil sprinkles

For Princess Leia:

  • 2 tbsp 1 to 2 cups vanilla frosting in white
  • 2 tbsp chocolate frosting
  • 1 cupcake
  • 2 Candy eyeballs
  • 1 Heart sprinkle
  • 2 Chocolate coated donuts
  • toothpicks

Instructions

For Chewbacca:

  • Place chocolate frosting in a piping bag fitted with an open star tip. Ice the cupcakes with the frosting creating stars. Allow frosting to dry slightly and gently press down any pointed peaks.
  • Press two candy eyeballs onto the top of each cupcake.
  • Roll out black fondant and cut into strips (approximately ¾ inch by 2 inches.) Press white nonpareils into fondant. Lift fondant strips using an offset spatula and place at a diagonal over cupcake edge.
  • With remaining black fondant, pinch a small piece and shape into a tiny ball for the nose. Place one nose under the eyes on each cupcake.

For Princess Leia:

  • Ice cupcakes with vanilla frosting, creating a flat surface.
  • Place chocolate frosting in a piping bag fitted with an open star tip. Create a hairline with the chocolate frosting.
  • Press two candy eyeballs onto each cupcake and a heart sprinkle, placing each to form Leia’s face.
  • Attach a donut to each side of the cupcakes using toothpicks.
