My Experience Making a Lego Cake
I’ve made a Lego cake for my son’s birthday party and it was a huge hit. The kids loved the bright colors and the Lego designs on top of the cake. It was also really easy to make, even for someone like me who isn’t a great baker.
I prefer to use Skittles instead of M&M’s because they have a wider range of colors and flavors. I also like to add a little bit of vanilla extract to the frosting to give it a more homemade taste.
Expert Tips
When making a Lego cake, it’s important to use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring. Gel food coloring produces more vibrant colors and won’t change the consistency of the batter.
