We had some tasty food for our Lego birthday party!
We set up the island in our kitchen to hold the main “feast,” where we tried to do a little bit of theming to go along with the party’s theme. Husband made a napkin holder and a utensil holder from Duplos, and we had fruit kabobs skewered on sword toothpicks.
However, one of our favorite food ideas was these ninja cheeses–made from partially opened Babybels! (We found this idea on Pinterest and LOVED it!) . The eyes are edible cake decorations.
The dessert table displayed some more Lego mold prowess on the part of Husband: we made a bunch of Lego Jello– some with basic brick molds (affiliate link), and some– and this is the really awesome part– from an awesome Jello kit that molds interlocking blocks (affiliate link)! They actually work, and it was so cool! (these blocks form the cars in the photo below).
We made cupcakes: B requested strawberry cake with chocolate frosting. He also wanted the Ninjago golden weapons on them, which were going to be beyond my capabilities, especially that week… so we compromised and used edible gold stars from a cake dec mix. Each cupcake was topped with a brick that we molded from another silicone mold–that makes smaller bricks– that I bought at Michaels.
The birthday boy’s cupcake was at the top of the cupcake stand, and his cupcake had 5 gold stars and a “5” candle, of course!
B really wanted to be involved in the party prep, and so he helped Husband do some of the candy melt molding! Husband was amazing– he did so much molding (Jello, candy, and crayons) for this party, and he always worked out the best method.
