What did we do before Pinterest? Sometimes I take it for granted that literally anything I could ever want instructions or inspiration for is just a click away. I pin thousands of ideas, some of which I intend to use, but most of which I forget about until I can't remember where I put my banana muffin recipe (again), and there it is, safely pinned and ready for me to use.

Party planning and decorating is usually my biggest reason for binge-pinning. It's a huge help when coming up with ideas for Vacation Bible School and other church events, such as the pizza and movie party we recently held for the class that won a canned food drive.

My husband and I are HUGE NERDS, so when the kids requested "The Force Awakens" as the movie, we were ecstatic. I got pinning right away.

There are a lot of good ideas out there, but my favorite was a pin for Stormtrooper Cupcakes. I mean, just look at these little morsels!

Admittedly, I didn't read the whole thing. I just browsed the pictures, mostly, but I got the gist. These were going to be the best homemade Star Wars Cupcakes ever! Spoiler: Nailed it!

I started out by making 2 boxes of cupcakes. I didn't frost them until they were at the party location, since they are a lot easier to transport before they're iced.

While they were cooling and baking, I used the time in between to draw Stormtrooper faces on all of my marshmallows. Well, almost all of them. Hint: Buy more marshmallows than you actually need, just in case some of the faces turn out wonky. Also, some of my marshmallows were stuck to the bottom of the bag, so plan to have a few extras! Another Hint: After drawing on the faces, don't allow the marshmallows to touch. While it may not seem like there will be any color transfer at first, if you leave them touching for too long, they will smudge each other.

After icing the cupcakes, you're ready to begin putting the little marshmallow helmets on top. If your frosting isn't perfect, don't sweat it. I found that you'll be able to use the helmet to correct/hide some of the imperfections.

Hint: I used toothpicks to make sure the helmets stayed in place. Since I assembled these a couple of hours before the party, I didn't want to come back through to find a bunch of decapitated Stormtroopers because the marshmallows slid right off the frosting. Just be sure to inform your guests so they are aware of the toothpicks!

Soon, you will have your very own army of Stormtroopers! Hint: Make sure you select a style of Stormtrooper before you begin. There is a difference between the way Classic, Clone and First Order Stormtroopers look. These are First Order Stormtroopers, since the party was themed around "The Force Awakens."

And there you have it! Are you ready to party? Because I'm ready to party! Maybe I'll make these again when "Rogue One" comes out... Hmmm...
