Lego Birthday Cake

Build your own Lego creation by putting together a Lego cake with a store-bought cake and mini cupcakes.

Ingredients
  • 9x13-inch cake from a grocery store bakery (preferably not frosted or with white frosting)

  • 1 can chocolate frosting (for filling between layers)

  • 2 cans white frosting

  • Food coloring to tint the Lego frosting

  • 8 mini cupcakes

Steps
  • Cut 9x13-inch cake in half to make two 9x6 1/2-inch cakes. If your store-bought cake has frosting on it, scrape it off.

  • Place a 9x6 1/2-inch cake on your serving platter. Ice the top of the cake with the chocolate frosting and place the other 9x6 1/2-inch cake on top.

  • Spoon the white frosting into a bowl and tint it to your desired color with the food coloring.

  • Ice the entire cake with a "crumb coat." (A "crumb coat" seals in any loose crumbs so they won't appear on the final layer of frosting.)

  • Scrape the frosting off the mini cupcakes. Turn them upside down and place them on the cake to resemble a Lego.

  • Ice the mini cupcakes on the cake and let the icing air dry for about an hour.

  • Finish icing the cake with as many coats as necessary to get a smooth finish. Refrigerate until its time to serve!
