Lego Cakes

Over this last weekend I was asked to make a Lego cake for my nephews Birthday the following day. My sister then handed me a 4 page recipe, I browsed through the recipe and though “are you kidding me”, I don’t have time to that. I personally had never seen a Lego cake, but I had seen many Legos. So I took matters into my own hands, and made a Lego cake my way. I was pressed on time, so I used prepackaged supplies, but if you have the time make your favorite cake and frosting recipe.

Supplies needed:

1 Box cake mix (I used confetti) prepared as directed

6-8 mini bread tins

Red, blue, green, yellow food coloring

2 cans of white frosting

Mini Marshmallows

Tooth picks

How to:

1.       Prepare cake mix how directed on box

2.        Divide batter into desired amount of bread tins (I used 8)

3.        Bake for the cupcake- bunt cake time on the box checking for doneness

4.        Remove cake from tins and fully cool.

5.       Wrap the cooled cakes in plastic wrap and put in the freezer for 4hr

6.       Divide the 2 cans of frosting into 4 bowls

7.       Add food coloring to each bowl- mixing well (add milk to help thin)

8.       Remove cakes from freezer one by one, cutting half of the cakes in half to make squares

9.       Frost cakes with desired color of frosting

10.    Take mini marshmallows and put them on a tooth pick- cover with frosting

11.    Break the toothpick holding the frosted marshmallow in half and place into cakes (4 for squares and 6 for rectangle)
