Happy building! XX
Follow the yellow brick road
And reveal a cake full of colourful bricks to delight your eyes and your tastebuds! When rainbow meets Lego, it’s clearly a match made in colourful cake heaven.
Lego Movie magic
Make every birthday awesome with a cake inspired by The LEGO Movie. It’s the perfect way to cram a whole LEGO-load of minifig characters onto a cake, plus when the kids get ratty from all the sugar and need to wind down, you can play the actual movie.
Superhero showdown
One of the most popular LEGO requests by little ones of all ages (just ask any cake baker!) is LEGO Superhero. And this incredible cake smashes it right out of the park!
Number one LEGO fan
Number cakes are always a hit with kids and are actually deceptively simple to pull off (with the right cake tin).
You can even try playing around with multi-coloured marzipan for an added layer of coolness.
Star Wars surprise
It may take more than the Force to pull off a cake this awesome. Complete with edible mini-figures and topped with the Death Star, this cake is any Jedi master’s dream come true.
Millennial milestone
But wait … it gets better for little Star Wars fans.
Behold the ultimate in Star Wars LEGO-themed cakes – the Millennial Falcon cake. Mind. Blown.
The brick reveal
Another popular option for LEGO lovers is a cake that reveals the bricks behind a solid colour of usually white icing. Simply roll your fondant to create this cool look.
Construction creation
How about building a LEGO cake they will really dig? A construction-themed cake, complete with plenty of LEGO construction figurines busy at work, is sure to do the trick!
Build-a-block
The LEGO block is a classic symbol for all things LEGO and perfect for a more generalised LEGO-inspired party. It’s also fairly easy to do (have a look at this LEGO block cake tutorial to see how to make your own).
Mellow yellow
Classic, iconic and easy to replicate, the standard yellow brick head is the ideal centrepiece for any child’s party.
Block party
Multiple multi-coloured mini blocks make for another great LEGO-inspired birthday cake. This slab of LEGO bricks (made with 331 bricks to be exact) is certainly a labour of love!
Topped with Lego love
Skip the countless mini bricks and opt for a cake that offers simplicity and elegance. A round cake topped with a LEGO-inspired number, LEGO bunting or character is the perfect option for time-poor parents.
Go for Ninjago
Ninjas unite! Ninjago is one of the biggest LEGO crazes these days and a Ninjago-themed cake allows your birthday boy or girl to release his or her inner warrior.
Lego and Friends fun
LEGO & Friends is another one of the newer and popular lines of LEGO toys that you most likely step on in the middle of the night. The softer palette of colours makes for a refreshing change from the typical bright yellow, red and blue combination.
Slab to it
An easy LEGO cake to make from a slab is a minifig. This guy is straight from the City jail, but you can make any minifig you like with a bit of icing magic. Find an easy tutorial on how to make your own minifig cake at Hearthsong.
I Do!
Finally, for those big kids who aren’t quite ready to give up on their perfect LEGO-themed cake, why not consider bringing the brick world to your wedding? Yep. LEGO-themed weddings are a thing.
