LEGOS BUILDING BLOCKS CAKES

These were really fun to make with my daughter Brielle. We had fun making them. They are really easy to make too. Here is the recipe to make them. ENJOY!!!



INGREDIENTS:

1 (16oz) Family Size Frozen Pound Cake, Thawed (Sara Lee)

1 Can (16oz) Vanilla Frosting

Red, Green, Yellow and Blue Food Coloring

6 Each Red, Blue, Yellow and Green Fruit Chews (Jolly Rancher and Laffy Taffy)


TRIMMING THE CAKE:

1.) Place the cake on a work surface. Trim the short the ends to make the sides perpendicular to the bottom of the cake.

2.) Cut the cake crosswise into 4 equal pieces.


FROSTING THE CAKE:

1.) Divide the frosting evenly between 4 bowls. And enough food coloring to tint each bowl of frosting a different bright color: Blue, Red, Yellow and Green. Cover the frosting to prevent drying.

2.) Spread an even layer of tinted frosting over each piece of cake to make one block of each color.


TO COMPLETE THE DECORATION:

1.) Unwrap the red fruit chews and microwave for no more than 3 seconds to soften.

2.) Press 3 softened fruit chews together and flatten slightly into a 1 1/2-inch thick circle.

3.) Cut out a 1 1/2-inch circle with a cookie cutter or small knife. Repeat with the three other like-colored fruit chews.

4.) Repeat with the rest of the colored fruit chews -- you will wind up with 6 colored fruit chew hockey puck shapes.

5.) Arrange the 2 like-colored fruit chews pucks on top of the frosted cakes to make the blocks.
