LEGO cake

I was asked to make a LEGO cake for my friends 6 year old. At first I was thinking make the cake look like it's made out of LEGO's  - but wow! That was going to be tedious. Turns out they wanted big LEGO blocks - Yah! I can do that. I didn't want to use fondant, but because LEGO's have red blocks, I had to. I messed up a little on the size, I meant for the red one to be 4 knubs long, not 3 so it would fit nicely, but it turned out cute.

These guys are about 2 inches tall, by 8 for the 6 knub blocks. I still need some practice covering the cake in fondant, I don't do it too often. But this was great practice, since I had 3 different size cakes. It turned out to be pretty fun. I like sculpted cakes, as long as they don't have the chance to fall over. I baked 2 13x9 cakes and used a good portion of them to get all the blocks. The knubs on top are just fondant, rolled thick.

Alien invasion

For my sons 6th birthday he wanted ALIENS! He had this grand idea for the cake - too grand for a cake. So we looked around and we came up with this design. We added his own alien designs to the sides. He even picked his candle.

These aliens were also on his invitations

He wanted green and blue cake too

I love Owls

...which is why I was excited when Teresa agreed her 14th birthday should be owl themed. Here is the cake I did for her. I really like how it came out. It's all fondant.
