Frost the top half of a Twinkie with white or flesh colored icing.
Add chocolate frosting for hair. I used a petal icing tip.
Pipe a white line of icing down the middle of the Twinkie, then cover each side of the white line with black icing.
Pipe on the white shirt collar and arms.
To make the face, roll up tiny bits of Tootsie Roll for the eyes and roll out a mouth. Use chocolate sprinkles or Tootsie Rolls for eye brows.
How to Make Chewbacca Cake
Divide the two chocolate frostings into a decorating bag so when you frost your cake, the hair looks multi-colored.
Begin frosting the Twinkie by starting with Chewy's head. Start in the middle and pipe outward.
Frost the rest of the cake.
Pipe a nose and mouth with black icing. Use a white icing writer to pipe on fangs and give the eyes a pop of white!
Add an additional mustache around his nose. Then add more frosting hair from his nose to his forehead.
Melt a Tootsie Roll for 10-15 seconds in the microwave and roll it out flat. Trim to a 1.4" wide utility belt. Press silver sprinkles into the candy to make it look more realistic.
Make some arms on either side of the cake.
Refrigerate after finishing. Take out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. You can also turn them into Cake Pops by adding a lollipop stick.
Notes
If you prefer fresh baked cake, bake a sheet cake and cut into small rectangles.
