Ninja Lego Cake


YAY! It's the weekend-Yahoo!!

Just wanted to share this Lego Ninja cake I made for a birthday last week. The cake was chocolate and the frosting classic vanilla buttercream.


The edible Legos were made of fondant and I used most of them to border the bottom of the cake.

I also made the edible Lego ninjas for the top of the cake. I had originally wanted to do an entire Lego ninja scene on top but realized that my decorating abilities are not quite at that level yet and decided to keep it simple.


Overall, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. A few days later, I got a note saying that the birthday boy loved it...which totally made my day.

    Great cake! Any cake decorating tips? That would be a great post. I'm curious to know how you get your frosting so smooth.

    Look at how talented you are. That's a well-done cake. You're always very good about colors. Fabulous, you don't need any classes, You're a natural.

    This is really good. Will have to make sure my son doesn't see it as he wants a Ninja birthday this year and lover Lego Ninjago. I would never be able to do anything as neat as this!

    I have a birthday party for my son coming up in early February. I've taken to making cakes lately, instead of buying them, but I could never make these ninjas. Like another reader asked, would you be willing to make the fondant pieces and mail them? I'm open to suggestions. Please email me at ameyer8@rochester.rr.com. Thanks!

    Ruth,

    I have another post here on how to make fondant Legos. Just go to the search bar and type in "Legos" you will find it.
