I trawled the web looking for inspiration & realised that I had to get my hands on some Star Wars mini figures to adorn my sponge cake. I looked on eBay and Amazon & I was shocked at the price (there were cheaper ones available to ship from China - they would have arrived mid Feb). Luckily I had a brainwave & contacted a friend who works for Lego & they were able to find a collection of characters for me.
My bother requested a plain Victoria sponge with strawberry jam & buttercream. This was coated in navy buttercream instead of sugar paste. Although sugar paste often has a cleaner finish. In my opinion, buttercream is tastier!
I used a novelty silicone ice cube mild to shape red, blue, yellow and green sugar paste into Lego bricks & decorated the cake with these and the Star Wars figures.
It might not have been the most creative cake ever but it was a hit with the birthday boy and his party guests!
It was delicious and it looked great. I hope your brother grows up to be as culinarily talented as you.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Is everything edible here? It is amazing! Designer cakes are also so much in demand now days. I visited a fest last month and it was in a huge event venue. There they displayed a lot of designer cakes. They had a LEGO one too. Anyways, all of this is mesmerizing.
