My son, Wil (previously mentioned in the "Luau" post) turned six in August. I can't remember a time when Wil didn't love taking things apart and putting them back together. Puzzels, train sets, forts constructed out of kitchen chairs and blankets, and of course the childhood staple...Legos.
Give my boy a box of the tiny plastic blocks (sorry, I have a horrible habit of unintentional rhyming when I talk, it apparently translates into blogging too. I'm gonna have to watch that). Anyway, let's just say Wil can spend hours playing with Legos. So I wasn't the least bit surprised when he told me he wanted a Lego birthday cake.
The cake is pretty easy to construct. I made two half sheet cakes. And using templates I made out of card board, I cut three different sized blocks with at least two of each size. The individual blocks can be of varying lengths but it is very important to make certain they are all the same height.
Once the "blocks" are covered with fondant you might want to give them a chance to set up then stack them any way you want. I made the "dots" out of fondant using a small round cutter.

I love this cake mostly b/c it has orange in it! Amazingly Jonathan has never been a lego kid. I think he had the jumbo legos as a toddler and that's it. I wonder if Harrison will like them??
He will if his Mim has anything to do with it.
You were doing so well, don't stop now!! Keep blogging! I will if you will!
