Cover your surface with some corn starch or powdered sugar. Roll out your fondant into a long rope. This one is about 1/2″ thick.
Cut into desired light saber lengths. Ours were 2″ in length and the handles were 3/4 “.
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.
To form the grooves, simply score with a knife.
Let dry for 2 days or until hard.
Add them to your cupcakes shortly before serving.
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.
