Admiral Ackbar Cupcakes!

*DISCLAIMER: Dad, I do know that Admiral Ackbar is NOT in the fifth movie but I had to make an exception because I have such an awesome idea for the sixth movie.* 

I found this amazing idea here! 

The cupcake recipe is one I have used for many dinners now: TwisterA Goofy Movie, and The Lorax dinner.  

Decorations:
For icing I just bought chocolate icing in a tube.  
Yellow Candy Melts
Black icing (for drawing the eyes, nose and mouth)
Chocolate sprinkles for his weird goatee!







TA-DA!  



It was an awesome dinner! 





I did feel like I had to add some pictures of when we went to Disney World and rode the Star Tours ride like six times… 





Happy Father's Day!
