Lego Cake
What else would you make for a five year old boy's birthday party?
There's really not much in the way of directions here, just a few pictures to show how it all went together.
1. Regular cake, cut into pieces once cooled.
2. Lego tops made by cutting large marshmallows in half.
3. Frost. You're going to want at least two cans of frosting. Frosting the "cut" side of the cakes was a mess. I tried melting the frosting and pouring it on, then chilling to set. It worked... kind of. There must be an easier way to do this.
4. Marhsmallows frosted by dipping them into the frosting, then set in place.
5. Move each cake onto new serving platter to try and be less messy.
In the end each kid hardly ate the cake anyways. Except for the marshmallow tops.

If you try this again, I would freeze the cakes for at least 20 minutes, do a frosting crumb coat, freeze for 10 minutes, then frost the cakes for real. It'll take a lot longer, but I think you'll make up for the time by not being so frustrated. They look like they turned out great, though! I bet J loved them :)
