Well Jakob is 10 tomorrow! I decided to try some of the icing skills that I learnt at a course at
the Make Cafe. It has been a little bit of a juggle as the lady who took the course gave us lots of information, but it was all verbal. I still don't know where to get half the icing, powder etc that she talked about. But loved making it all.
So what I have done is used a bit of what she taught, used things that my Mother-in-law and shown me to do and sort of mixed it up.
The result is a Lego cake. I made one cake batch and put it into my mini loaf tins. Then iced each individually to look like separate Lego pieces. It seems to have worked OK This was a trial run as I will make more for his party on the weekend.

Love the lego cake. I can't wait till my boys get into lego. Just waiting for the youngest one to stop putting everything in his mouth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I love your blog, looks like your kids are good with "helping" baking. Eli helped do the icing and you should have seen the mess in the end!! I meant to get a photo but was too busy cleaning up
