Following on from the hilarious is my hedgehog fucked thread, I thought I'd pick up my tools and make another cake. Specifically for BIL's big 30th birthday party.

Be honest, is there any saving this? Or am I destined to a life where people point at me in the street and laugh? Wink

Yes redo the eyes without the equilateral triangles and a wider 'mouth' with just a curve rather than a forceful frown.

I think it can be made good. Use the force.

I remember your hedgehog cake with great fondness and your second attempt hasn't disappointed Grin

I've looked at it again this morning and it's kinda melted.

In my husbands words

'That stormtrooper is sad'

Ok I make cakes.... I don't think this one is rescuable.

Get yourself on you tube there is a few tutorials on cakes like that one or I found this on Pinterest. If you take it a step at a time I think you might just smash it (I was very impressed with your hedgehog last year 😁)

Woah woah woah @ImNotAFlower

That looks far too complicated

😂😂😂😂 not if you do each picture in order. You tube the video of the one like yours you CAN do this!! Channel the hedgehog, c'mon he was a work of art in the end 😁

It looks a bit more like a space invader than a stormtrooper. If all else fails, perhaps another 'roid hog would do the job?

spiderplantsalad · 30/07/2018 20:58

A very angry space invader.

CrystalMethHog · 30/07/2018 21:23

You're right, I CAN DO THIS!
I can't believe I doubted myself for a second. Look how crystal meth hog turned out. I got this shit 😎

Got a week to sort my life out. Attempt number two starts next weds. Tune in for my nervous breakdown

To be fair, the one in the pic you're modelling it on doesn't look like a storm trooper either to me. And yours is way funnier.

VelociraptorRex · 30/07/2018 21:31

You could always say that Darth was angry with the first one and that's what happens when you anger the dark side? I'd still eat it incidentally...

Processedpea · 30/07/2018 21:34

PMSL Grin

MipMipMip · 30/07/2018 21:34

That one with the step by step looks like an Ood before it gets inked.

CrystalMethHog · 30/07/2018 21:34

Death Vader wasn't angry he was FUMING Grin

Use the force OP, will you show us the result? Smile

glitterbiscuits · 30/07/2018 21:38

It's got a Star Wars meets South Park look to it.

CanIBuffalo · 30/07/2018 21:39

Has a very heavy starship landed on his head, paused briefly and taken off again?

ZebraOwl · 30/07/2018 22:02

Maybe you could make an Ewok cake? A kind of evolution of The Hedgehog Cake. You could even use the pangobear someone's DH made last year as "inspiration"...

runsmidgeOMG · 30/07/2018 22:20

OP !!!! You are my kindred spirit, I too have a succession of #nailedit moments (me and my friends have an album of my achievements on FB)
However you have created something I'd never achieve in my wildest dreams !! Go youuuuuu!!!!!

CrystalMethHog · 30/07/2018 23:04

Okay so this was the hedgehog cake, 1st attempt and final version.

I've done it once, I can do it again.

This is going to be the greatest comeback since Britney, bitch 😎

GlitteryFluff · 30/07/2018 23:24

I remember the hedgehog!

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/07/2018 23:28

It embodies the epic struggle of the force so succinctly.

This. Grin

Placemarking Grin Good luck OP.
