Lego cake

Very fun! Not as hard as it looks. Here is how I did it:
I baked store bought cake mix. Half a box per 8x4" loaf pans. Cooled them completely, cut the top of the cakes off to make them flat. Wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer to firm the cakes. I made marshmallow fondant from this website. The knobs on top are large marshmallows cut in half. I colored the fondant, rolled it and placed it on top and helped it form around the bumps and edges. I educated myself online about how fondant works cuz this was my first time making it and working with it. It was a good experience and I was happy with how they turned out. Thank you Emily and internet! I think I will use fondant with all the cakes I make.
