The beginnings of the Lego ice cream sandwich cake! |
Lego is the perfect shape to try out an ice cream sandwich cake. My son was born on the 4th of July -- My little "Firecracker", so plates & favors were red, white & blue, but at the last minute, he requested that his Lego cake be orange, his favorite color. Instead of buying the more intense Wilton frosting dyes, I just bought orange frosting straight up from my local grocery store bakery. For the filling, I whipped some of the orange frosting with a large container of Cool Whip and added a cup of orange juice for a "Dreamsicle" flavor.

The nodules on top are simply cupcakes trimmed down.
We also had a Lego pinata made of a paper box with yogurt containers attached as the nodules of the Lego, painted all over with red acrylic paint. As an extra treat, I put candy and treats in each "nodule", so that as they were knocked off before the entire box caved, the kids still got treats.
The kids were particularly excited about these Lego candies, a.k.a., "Candy Blox" which taste similar to Sweet Tarts candies and interlock!

Party favors: Lego block & Lego mini-man soaps from MelsFunSuds on Etsy. Bagged them to be sure the kids did not confuse these with the Candy Blox. (tell her I sent you!) |
I love a LEGO party! My favorite detail is the fireman holding the candle...we'll find an excuse to try that someday soon!
ReplyDeleteVery cool
ReplyDeleteI think I would be tempted to eat the soaps-they do look like lollies :0)
