Lego is still a favourite for many kids! I had the opportunity to do my first ever Lego head! And even better, it was Emmet!! Although, Emmet was harder than it looked. In order for the head to be a 3D effect, I had to make it a 2 tier cake. I was afraid that if I put 2 thick layers on top of each other, the cake would collapse because of its weight. I also was having a hard time deciding whether Emmet would wear his construction hat or just have a head of hair. I kind of regretted it at the end as I had to colour a good amount of fondant due to the size of the cake. The cake pan I used was a 10 inch pan and about 3 inches in height, so you can imagine how big Emmet's head was. I finally ended up choosing the Emmet with hair. The final result was just okay for me but I definitely know my areas of improvement if I ever make a lego head again!
Hey! This is an amazing piece of work. Could you tell me how you made the hair, if you don't mind? I want to try making this cake!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I coloured fondant brown then i rolled it out to cover only have of the cake. After that I formed it where necessary to make it look like Emmet's head. I then painted a glaze to make it shiny. Hope this helps.
