When the newest Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, opens this December, audiences will finally see the much-awaited, adorable ball-shaped droid, BB-8. Since his debut in the Star Wars trailer, BB-8 has been getting a lot of attention. He is already a fan favorite.  So we thought we would make some Star Wars BB-8 Cupcakes, for you to have for your Star Wars party. Today’s party idea is sponsored by Fandango Family, as part of the Fandango Ambassador program; all options are my own.

 

Looking to get into the Force Awakens fun? Have a little BB-8 fun of your own with these adorable cupcakes, inspired by this little droid and delight your Star Wars fans. To create this cute little droid, you will use a cupcake to create his body, and a cake ball as his head. Little brown and orange candies complete the cute droid look. These little guys are super cute and super easy to pull together!

Ingredients 

  • 1 9-inch cake, any flavor
  • 12 cupcakes, any flavor
  • 1-2 recipe white frosting (from scratch or canned)
  • Large and mini M&Ms, orange and brown
  • 12 Orange ring candies, such as gummy life savors
  • 12 white cupcake liners

 

Quick & Easy Steps for Star Wars BB-8 Cupcakes  

  1. Crumble the cake in a large bowl with your hands into fine crumbs. Stir 2-3 tablespoons of frosting into cake crumbs to create a paste consistency.
  2. Chill for about 30 minutes.
  3. While mixture is chilling, frost cupcakes with ½ white frosting and set aside.
  4. Once cake ball mixture is chilled, scoop and roll into 12 round 1-2-inch cake balls and place on a wax paper-covered baking pan.  Return to refrigerator or freezer to set.
  5. While cake balls are setting, assemble your decorations.
  6. Once cake balls are set, roll in frosting and place on top of cupcakes. You can use a small spoon or knife to smooth frosting. If the consistency of frosting is too thick to roll the balls in, you can put it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds to thin it a bit.
  7. Add orange ring candy to the top of the cake ball. Add one large and one mini brown M&M to the face, place about 3 orange M&Ms (large and mini) to the droids’ body.

 

The force will definitely be with you, in any galaxy – very near or far, far away — if you make these BB-8 Cupcakes.
