So my neighbor's sweet little boy turned 5 and I had a request to make a Lego theme cake. I knew exactly what would be perfect. This is my second attempt at this cake, I didn't like the way the first one came out so I made another and it was so much better! I think that the fondant was the hard part. I found a much better fondant recipe here. Scroll down to the bottom and the recipe is there. It tastes great and you also get great recipes for cakes and buttercream!
This cake was egg free chocolate cake and it tasted like fudge. No frosting needed but you can't have a chocolate Lego head when classic yellow is what I was going for! So crumb coat with chocolate butter cream and the four 8 inch round layers were ready to go!
Fondant was used to make the face and Lego blocks. Picky me didn't like the cracks but after 12 hours of making the cake start to finish, my eyes were glazing over....
The birthday boy loved his cake and said it was yummy!
