How about a Star Wars party?!?! Whether you’re throwing a May the 4th party, planning a birthday party for a Star Wars fan, having a Star Wars family movie night, or just want a super fun and yummy treat, we have the perfect Storm Trooper Cupcake Recipe! (And yes, I now realize it is supposed to be STORMTROOPER CUPCAKE as in Stormtrooper is all one word!)
Our recipe starts with a homemade chocolate cupcake, but you can make things easier by using a box mix if you like. We leave it up to you as to the type of frosting you want to use, but our favorite is this easy buttercream frosting recipe.

To make the Storm Trooper faces for these cupcakes, we simply draw on full size marshmallows with a black food writer pen that you can get at a baking store, on Amazon or at BakeDeco. (It’s under $10 for a set of multiple pens.)
I also recommend making your cupcakes in solid black cupcake liners or make them extra fun with Star Wars themed cupcake liners.
