Star Wars yellow cake with buttercream icing. Fondant and gumpaste accents.
The mom purchased figurines to go on each cake.I put shortening in my buttercream icing so that it is more stable than just using butter. However, the formula of the shortening changed recently so I had trouble getting my buttercream smooth. I guess I'm on the search for a new buttercream recipe.

I had the same problem with my practice wedding cake!
Great designs. I don't understand what trouble you were having with your frosting. Did it not crust well for you?
I just couldn't get it as smooth as normal. There were a lot of air pockets in it, also there were some chunks of shortening, which I picked out as I came across them.
Your Handy manny cake is so cute!
Could you try a different brand of shortening and see if that helps?
