Connor turned 5 last Friday. He decided that he wanted to have a horse/ Lego cake for his party.
How the heck do you do that?
Make Your Own Candy Legos
1. You’ll need some Wilton Dark Green Candy Melts, 12-Ounce
2. Put about 1/2 the bag into a zipper bag (do not close it)
3. Put the bag into the microwave for 30 seconds. Flip the bag over and do 30 more seconds. Then you’ll probably have to do about 15 more seconds.
4. Squish the melted candy in the bag to make sure it all melted.
5. Squeeze all the candy into one corner and snip a little bit off that corner.
6. Squeeze the melted candy into the Lego Minifigure Ice Tray and Ice Brick Tray molds
7. Once they’re all filled, clean up the top so there is no spill over and firmly set the mold on the counter a couple of times to get the air bubbles out.
8. Place the mold in the freezer for 15 minutes.
9. Take out the mold and pop them out. (If you have trouble getting them out, spray Pam on the mold next round.)
10. Place them around the outside of the cake.
I once again used my little secret for making edible images (take a picture to Walmart and have them print it on a sugar sheet for $6.50).
And wah-lah…you have an edible horse/ Lego cake!

Have you used candy melts before? The possibilities are limitless!

Thanks…it’s really pretty easy (just time consuming) and everyone LOVES it.
HOW CUTE! I have used the candy melts! I have the LEGO man tray and I made party favors with them!

My kids like the Lego men too…except when my husband acts like they’re screaming as they’re being eaten. LOL
I use candy melts all the time. My kids aren’t big fans, though. I love your cake, very cute! Thanks for linking up on Kids in the Kitchen!
Thank you. They don’t like the candy melts? My kids start begging for them after breakfast!
My son is a Lego fanatic… I love this idea!
Yeah, we’re a bit obsessed with Legos here.
THESE ARE SO CUTE! Love them.
Thanks!
That is an awesome idea!! I love it!
Thank you
I’ve never seen a mold like that. They would make great party favors too, packaged up different candy or chocolate flavored legos.

There are some hard candy Legos too, but these chocolate ones taste better. This is actually an “ice” mold.
How cool! I should try this considering the legos go in the mouth anyways — might as well make some edible ones!

I love how you found a way to combine the Legos & horses. The cake turned out awesome!

Thanks! You can get the brick and the minifigure molds together from Amazon…there’s a link in the post on #6.
Love the candy mold! You could make a big batch up during the holidays for teacher presents, too!
And the tip about getting the edible picture done at WalMart – awesome!

Thanks! Good idea about using for gifts!
They don’t even have a tag to print out at our Walmart, but they will do it for you.
Lego and Cake combined! This could never fail for me.
Looks great, although I doubt i’d have the patience to do it myself, I don’t really do time-consuming

You did a great job!

Oh wow! That came out so cute. We did a LEGO cake for one of my son’s birthdays but I never saw LEGO molds like those.

That is too cute! Reminds me of the Lego waffles they used to make. I always tried building with them but it never worked. I totally need to try this. And the edible image is something we’ve been doing for years. Such a great idea too. We have to order it from online though, as my son has food allergies.

Lego waffles? I’m going to have to find those!
Those Legos are so cool–they look so real! What a great idea for a cake.
Thank you
Great idea! I saw someone using lego bricks for jello molds on pinterest last week. I was never that creative with my kids’ birthday cakes

Well, I think I know what I’m making for my Kindergartener’s birthday this year! I’ve seen those molds online before, I really need to get them.
