For his birthday this year, we went in with a friend whose son shares the same birthday as my son and had a party at a local pool. I planned to make cupcakes myself, but after traveling for a funeral that same week, I just went ahead and ordered from a local store bakery. I found this really cool 'brick' candy and placed one into the frosting of each cupcake. When doing the final head count, I freaked out a little.... I wasn't sure If I ordered enough cupcakes for all the invited guests and siblings. Since we had the entire pool, we encouraged the entire family of the invited child to come and swim!
So, I spent a minute in google land and came across a lego pool cake someone else had made. Why invent the wheel?! The idea was PERFECT!
I made the cake, assigned my son the task of finding lego people and making race flags. We washed all the pieces and the other mom and I went to work decorating the cake.
Here is the result....
Here is a pic of the lego candy cupcakes... didn't get a better pic cause I was too busy running the party!
Adorable!! What a fun idea for a lego cake! :D Hope your kiddo had a fantastic birthday!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! My son loves legos, I am going to show him the cake and see what he thinks for his birthday.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet cake! Such a great Mom! What kind is it?
ReplyDeleteKelly - the cake is whatever junky box cake mix my mother had at her house and was oh so kind to give me to save me from a trip to the store that day. The fosting is whatever junk tub mix the other mom had.
