I made this for my grandson’s 4th birthday. He loves fire trucks and Lego so I made everything from fondant and sugar to cover the homemade vanilla buttercream-filled strawberry cake.

I absolutely hate fondant and most of the time hate the cakes made with it but this is actually pretty cool. Good job

Haha, you make it sound so easy! I know my roommate likes bananas so I buy him a few when I am the store thinking I am considerate and attentive. But he is happy, I am happy 🤷‍♀️.

You are nextFingLevel material!

Super impressive! I thought this was real Legos until I read the title. Just stay away from the subreddit that hates fondant and please keep posting!

I can't stand fondant, but the details, the colors, the sharpness...its all so damn good. You got some skills.

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment! I get the fondant comment as many people that way. It’s a great sculptural medium and really helps to achieve some pretty cool outcomes!

Unfortunately I cannot post as I’m a new user. But I will post a cut picture in another thread.

Damn, this looks like something I'd see on a Netflix show. Seriously impressive, well done. And very thoughtful.

You have amazing talent. I wish you could make me one of these. Don’t care how old I am 😂

I’m gonna show this to my mom to make her jealous. When I was like 10 she made me a LEGO cake and it did not turn out well, lol.

Whoa. that's so cool! It's so well-made. I'm afraid it's too beautiful to be destroyed by eating it. lol

Thank you! Most times I love seeing my cakes being cut. This one hurt just a little bit! Lol

Really nice job on all the details. Each piece looks like a lego and it feels like I could snap some bricks into the top. The color is also fantastic and I bet a lego truck was difficult to make.

Beautiful work! You are quite the artist, I can't imagine how many hours you've invested into creating this cake. Mind sharing how long it took?

Objective-Chard7542 OP t1_j9w9spi wrote

Thanks so much for the wonderful compliment. It took about 15 hours to create from start to finish.

Incredible! Is this also your profession? You’re so talented! I saw the cut picture on another thread and the cake itself looks so moist and delicious.

Thank you! I am a retired art teacher and make cakes as a little side business.

How did you make the top pieces? Did you make a mold?

You should have included a single, real Lego brick somewhere.

The detail is really impressive, after all of that I just can’t believe you spelled Alex wrong!
