Lego cake!

My friend had his 21st birthday party the other night and we threw him a surprise party with a Lego theme!  He’s really into Lego, which is awesome, because Lego is the BEST TOY EVER.

I was given the task of a Lego birthday cake.  I’d seen a few on the internet which looked amazing, but mostly used fondant icing which I don’t like.  So I made do with buttercream icing (sooo delicious – I always make too much on purpose).

First I baked two vanilla cakes – a rectangular loaf cake and a square cake.  I cut them into pieces, after planning it out.  I made a 2×4 block, a square 2×2 block, and two 2×1 blocks.

Here are the bits of cake prior to putting the knobs on.  That pile at the back is my offcuts!

Nobbly bits cut out of cake.  They were a bit uneven but that’s what happens when you’re not a baker.

Finished product!  Looks a bit homemade, because I had trouble with the icing not wanting to stick to the cake.  But gosh it tasted delicious!
