We're getting close people! The movie is out in a couple days!! (well officially on the 18th but I'm counting the midnight showings on the 17th too!)
So I'm onto Day 10 of #12daysofStarWars
Star Wars Trooper Gingerbread Men!
Every year I usually do some fun mashed up gingerbread men (meaning gingerbread men decorated as characters from shows or pop culture). I did Star Wars themed ones a long time ago here but figured it was time for an "upgrade".
Start with your typical gingerbread men cut outs and cover with royal icing.
Once icing is hardened, add all the trooper details with black royal icing or you can use black candy melting wafers (aka candy melts). There are so many characters to choose from but I kept these to just the various different troopers since there have been so many over the course of all the movies.
The new Force Awakens movie also introduces the new "First Order" Storm Troopers, Snow Troopers and some neat Flamethrower Troopers! Oh and you can't forget the ultimate trooper all in silver/chrome - Captain Phasma. Can't wait to see them up on the big screen!
I think my favs are still the old school Storm Troopers.
Are you totally done with all the SW stuff - after all these treats I think I'm going to be done with Star Wars for quite awhile! Still really looking forward to the movie though!
Stop back everyday for another Star Wars treat or follow along on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter! #12daysofStarWars @sugarswings
