bStar Wars has been insanely popular ever since the very first film was released by George Lucas in 1977.
Its fandom has only grown with the proliferation of new Star Wars content created by Disney (such as the Mandalorian).
We all know someone who would be over the moon (or a Death Star initially mistaken for a moon) to receive a Star Wars-themed cake.
Need some inspiration and ideas? Below you will find 50 examples of the best Star Wars cakes from bakers around the world.
1. Classic Star Wars Cake
This may represent one of the most classic Star Wars cake styles, with a galaxy-decorated cake at the center of the design. It is topped by an edible Death Star and Darth Vader helmet.
On each side of the cake is an edible face of a favorite character, including Yoda, Chewbacca, and C3PO. The icing Star Wars lettering on the plate makes the perfect finishing touch.
2. Darth Vader Topper Cake
Darth Vader is the villain we love to hate and potentially the most recognizable character from the franchise. His black outfit lends itself to a black-and-white icing theme.
This is a white cake with black Star Wars lettering in icing topped with an edible Darth Vader figure with his signature red lightsaber in hand.
3. Layered Yoda Topper Cake
All Star Wars fans love Yoda, so why not treat them to a cake with an edible Yoda on top?
But you can make little edibles of all their favorite characters. Here we have Chewy, BB8, the Millenium Falcon, and the Death Star.
The cake itself is blue galaxy hiding punctuated with little stars and finished off with the distinctive Star Wars lettering.
4. Grogu Topper Cake
While Yoda has always been popular, he now has competition from Grogu, an infant from the same species that is powerful with the force and features in the Mandalorian.
This cake uses Grogu peaking out of his carry sack as a topper and a black galaxy icing cake. The green of Grogu’s skin makes a nice decoration accent.
5. Yoda and Death Star Cake
Star Wars is an ongoing battle between the light and the dark sides of the force, and Yoda embodies the light side and the Death Star the dark side.
This cake features both of them on a blue galaxy iced cake with a Death Star edible topper and an edible Yoda figurine standing at the side of the cake with his Jedi cloak and signature walking stick.
6. R2D2 Topper Cake
While R2D2 doesn’t speak a language that we can understand, he is one of the most communicative and most loved characters in Star Wars.
This cake features an R2D2 edible topper flanked by the lightsabers representing the light and dark sides of the force. It has blue icing with silver stars.
7. Flat R2D2 Cake
If you want a cake that is functionally edible but also has a cool Star Wars theme, try this R2D2 icing cake.
This is a flat cake, but it uses royal icing to coat the cake in the theme of R2D2. His blue and white coloring makes for a great theme.
8. BB8 Droid Cake
The new cycle of Star Wars films also had to feature an adorable droid, specifically BB8, owned by resistance fighter Poe Dameron.
This cake recreates the bot with a round base and a half-sphere top. Royal icing recreates the droid’s distinct patterning.
9. R2D2 and BB8 Cake
Can’t decide on the best droid in the Star Wars universe? This cake features edibles of both on top of a galaxy-iced cake.
The details on the designs of the droids make this work stand out.
10. C3PO Cake
Do you have a friend who is a fan of C3PO or who reminds you of the android? The gold icing needed for this cake means that it is sure to be something special.
You can have lots of fun trying to nail the details to make this C3PO bust look as realistic as possible.
11. Layered Droid Cake
Layered cakes always look over the top in a fun and festive way, and it always looks like you have put in a lot of effort.
This cake dedicates a layer to each of the droids. The bottom is R2D2, the middle is the chest of C3PO, and the top is the head of BB8. The R2D2 colored candles make a nice touch.
12. Yoda and Princess Leia Cake
Combine favorite characters by placing them separately on the cake in edible figures. This one places feisty Princess Leia on the bottom and sage Yoda on top.
The purple icing still has a galaxy look with the star sparkles, and the use of Yoda’s voice for the birthday message is the perfect final touch.
13. Kylo Ren Character Cake
Kylo Ren is the villain we want to see redeemed, even after he kills his father, Han Solo. Rey could see the good in him, and we trusted her judgment.
This cake uses icing to create a figure of Kylo Ren in his distinctive mask and cape. The flowing cape of the icing and the red of the lightsaber make it distinctive.
14. Chewbacca Cake
The big fur ball that is Chewbacca is a favorite character and also gives a lot of fun options when it comes to cake decorating. This is one of the best we have seen.
The stringed icing makes the character cake look hairy but delicious, and the open mouth makes it look like he is letting out one of his signature sounds.
15. Ewok Cake
The cute and cuddly Ewoks stole the show for many in The Return of the Jedi, and many would love a cuddly Ewok cake.
A furry face stands out from a headpiece made from royal icing resulting in a realistic furry friend almost too good to eat (but only almost).
16. Jabba the Hut Cake
Jabba the Hut’s flying desert court makes a memorable setting for the opening of The Return of the Jedi. There are few things more decadent than Jabba!
This cake places an edible Jabba on top of a classic black Star Wars cake. We’d have liked to see the writing done in icing, but you can one-up this baker!
17. Baby Yoda Cake
One of the many cool things about the Mandalorian is being able to learn more about Yoda’s species and meet others from it, especially the very young.
This cake is iced in Yoda green and features edible figurines of several baby Yodas, each doing something different.
18. Yoda Character Cake
This cake barely looks real and is a work of art that might be a shame to eat, except it means that the baker will have to make another amazing surprise.
Working the icing like paint lets you create a detailed character that all the guests will remember long after it has been devoured.
19. Darth Vader Bust Cake
Imagine dimming the lights and bringing out this Darth Vader bust cake with a red glow thanks to a few strategically placed candles.
This baker has used shiny black icing to make a very realistic Darth Bader bust cake. Something like this deserves a big reveal!

Thanks to his TV show on Disney Plus, the Mandalorian is emerging as one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars universe and providing lots of cake ideas.

The cake is also peppered with details. R2D2 sits at the bottom, the Millenium Falcon circles Yoda’s neck, and other characters stand on the various levels,
23. Darth Vader Layered Cake

A very detailed recreation of Kylo Ren’s helmet makes the top layer of this triple-layered Star Wars cake.
The bottom two layers are iced in black and dusted with stars. Kylo Ren’s lightsaber sits at the front and sets a black and red color scheme for the cake.
25. Black Theme Layered Star Wars Cake
This layered Star Wars cake uses a black theme to create something moody, with almost all the layers in black, with the exception of a nice galaxy iced section.
Your characters from the Dark Side are spotted around the cake in edible form, including Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. The Death Star is added as a topper.
26. Black Darth Vader Cake
This black cake is dedicated to all things Vader. It uses black icing with accents of white to make it look like a galaxy, and an image of the villain is pinned to the side of the cake.
