How to make a Lego Head Cake

Written instructions in description.

Lego Head Cake!

Step 1
You will need:
2 boxes of cake mix (Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker)
Eggs
Oil
Milk or water
2 or 4 8" or 9" round cake pans
Cake bored that's larger then your cake or a large plate.

Bake your cakes according to the box instructions. I always use milk over water because it tastes better and the cake is moister. Spray your pans with baking grease (Pam... etc.) so it's easy to get them out later.

Step 2
As your cakes are baking prepare your icing. Homemade is always better
4 cups of sifted icing sugar
Teaspoon of vanilla
1 cup of vegetable shortening
4-6 tablespoons of milk or water. Depending on how stiff you want your icing.

Less milk = stiff icing
More milk = soft or thin icing.
Use thin to ice your cake with so you don't pull the cake apart. Use stiff icing for piping.

I have tinted my thin icing lemon yellow and a small amount of medium stiffness in black.

Step 3
After all 4 cakes have cooled for 15 minuets gently take them out of the pans to cool completely.

Step 4
Carefully even off all the tops of the cakes so everything if flat.

Step 5
Stack the cakes on each other gluing them with a little icing.
If you want half chocolate half vanilla (like what I have done) cut the cake in half moon shapes and flip it upside down on its other half. Make sure you have some icing in the middle to glue it together. Continue until you have staked all 4 layers together.

If you are using a cake bored put a little bit of icing on the bored and assemble your cake on there.


Step 6
Use thin icing to ice the whole cake yellow. Use the black to pipe the features on I covered a plastic lid in yellow icing for the bump. You can also use a cupcake. I've taken real Lego blocks and used icing to glue them to the bored. You can also get the candy Lego blocks.

Hope you enjoyed this, and good luck!

@ShawtyMolotov ... You could use a cupcake, but to save some time I used a coffee jar lid. I just covered it with lots of icing. I made sure to wash it really well and I let the buyer know it was plastic.
