Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episode 6: Eli's Birthday

IN A GALAXY NOT SO FAR AWAY, ON THE DAY OF APRIL 16, IN THE YEAR 2003, A BABY BOY WAS BORN. FROM THE BEGINNING HIS ENERGY DREW THE ATTENTION OF THE JEDI COUNCIL, WHO NAMED HIM ELI. THEY KNEW HE WAS THE ONE. IN THE 6 YEARS THAT FOLLOWED HIS BIRTH, YOUNG ELI HAS BEEN LEARNING THE POWERS OF THE FORCE.

RECENTLY THOUGH, THE JEDI KNIGHTS HAVE FELT A STRONG DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE. A DISTURBANCE GENERATED BY THE DARKSIDE. MANY JEDI KNIGHTS HAVE BEEN LOST. THE VERY FUTURE OF THE JEDI ORDER IS NOW IN JEOPARDY.

THE JEDI COUNCIL HAS CALLED UPON YOUNG PADAWAN ELI TO SEEK OUT FUTURE JEDI. PADAWAN ELI AND SEVERAL OTHER YOUNG PADAWANS WERE PRESENT ON SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2009 TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE OF JEDI TRAINING.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

For those who aren't up on their Star Wars lingo, a padawan is a Jedi in training.

I had several mishaps with this cake. It isn't anywhere near what I had wanted it to look like. All Eli really wanted on the cake was the action figures on top. He really wanted a LOT more action figures (like 12) on the cake but that idea was vetoed. But I guess the looks of the cake didn't affect the taste because there wasn't any cake left.
