Stormtrooper with whipped cream
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If your family or friends are avid fans of "Star Wars," then definitely surprise them with this fun Darth Vader-shaped cake! Making this cake is not difficult at all, and the result is incredibly delicious and tender. You can use any fruits or berries as filling. I recommend adding plenty of gelatin to the whipped cream, as it helps bind the cream into a stable mixture. Serve with tea or coffee.
