Hulk / Iron man / Cpt. America / Thor Lego Cake 復仇者聯盟樂高蛋糕

It was a very busy week to make a cake for my younger daughter's classmate Aiden's birthday. This week, my husband had business trip and I had to take care of kids and had to do everything by myself. First, need to drive them to piano class and swimming class. Then there was Chinese class exam for my 2 daughters on Wednesday. Thirdly, there was Pro-d day and a playdate was arranged at my house on Friday. Lastly, I need to drive them to fellowship on Friday's night. 8 inch 3D cake along with 48 cupcakes with topper due on Saturday. I was totally............

But thanks God for giving me strength everyday. I started my day with TWA (time with Abba) and prayer. God gave me strength and power all day long!

Aiden likes Lego Thor, Hulk, Cpt. America and Ironman. And the cake's theme has ti be in Lego Superhero theme. 

I only have  2-3 hours everyday to work on the cake. I did the four figures first. Then I made Lego fondant blocks. The cake is a 8 inch 3 layers chocolate cake. I use basic buttercream for frosting. I cover the cake with white fondant as base. Then add red, yellow, green and blue fondants on top of the white fondant. I cover the cake bottom rim with fondant lego blocks. 

 

You can see I make the body and feet of the character first. Second I

is the head. Then its hair. Lastly is the arm and hand by using different tools as you see in the pictures.

To make the lego block. I cut the lego using a piping tip. For the cake, I first cover the cake with white fondant. Then apply different color fondant on top of white fondant.
