  • Do the same with the fondant that you are going to use for the handles. We attached them to the lights with some clear vanilla extract. Just dab some on the end of the green section with a paintbrush and add the handle. Push together gently and set on a sheet with waxed paper.

Notes

Add light sabers to your cupcakes shortly before serving. They shouldn’t be on the cupcakes more than 8-12 hours ahead of serving or they will start to get soft again by soaking in some of the moisture from the frosting.
