Best Lego Birthday Cake Recipes

BUILDING BLOCKS CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan.
• Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate or freeze cake about 1 hour or until firm.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl for each color, tint 1 cup frosting red, 1 cup frosting yellow and 2/3 cup frosting blue with food colors. Leave remaining frosting white.
• Using serrated knife, cut rounded dome from top of cake to make flat surface; place cake cut side down. Cut cake crosswise into thirds. Cut one of the thirds in half crosswise to make 2 squares. Place cake pieces on tray.
• To seal in crumbs, frost top and sides of 1 square cake with thin layer of blue frosting and 1 square cake with thin layer of white frosting. Frost 1 rectangular cake with thin layer of yellow frosting and 1 rectangular cake with thin layer of red frosting. Refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting.
• Add final coat of frosting to each cake. Frost 4 marshmallow halves with blue frosting; place in square design on blue cake. Frost 4 marshmallow halves with white frosting; place in square design on white cake. Frost 8 marshmallow halves with yellow frosting; place on yellow cake. Frost 8 marshmallow halves with red frosting; place on red cake. Store loosely covered.

LEGO® SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric blender until foamy. Add oil and orange soda and stir to combine.
• Sift flour and baking powder together and slowly stir into batter until well combined. Spread batter on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Sort chocolate-covered candy by the colors in your food color assortment, such as yellow, green, orange, blue, and red.
• Cut cooled cake into evenly sized rectangles, about 1.5 x 3 inches in size, like oversized LEGO® pieces. Gauge the size in relationship to the chocolate-covered candy pieces; 8 pieces should fit onto each to resemble a large LEGO® piece.
• Mix about 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with enough lemon juice in a bowl to make a thick icing. Color with a couple drops of food coloring so icing turns a deep color. Brush icing onto 2 or 3 cake pieces and arrange 8 chocolate-covered candy pieces with the matching color on top. Allow to set.
• Continue with the next color and the next set of chocolate-covered candy pieces in the same color until all cake pieces are decorated. Allow to set.

LEGO BIRTHDAY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C and butter (generously) 2 loaf tins.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and then add the rest of the ingredients and empty into a magimix or use an electric handwhisk (you can do it by hand but I couldn't be bothered!)
• When it is all combined, simply divide into the two loaf tins and bake for around 30 minutes.
• Leave on a cooling rack (you can only start icing when it is completely cool.)
• Get a pair of clean scissors and rub with a small amount of sunflower oil (this will make the marshmallows not stick)
• Cut 16 marshmallows into half, you will only be using the bottom half of each of the marshmallows.
• Now mix the food colouring into the icing (obviously 2 seperate bowls for the 2 colours) Ice the cake and then ice the marshmallows and place on top.
• Add candles and lego figures. I used some flapjacks and chocolate rice crispy squares for the people at the party who didn't like cake.
