At least my soon-to-be birthday boy is still smiling through all the sniffles!Okay, so think LEGO. I have been collecting things to use for weeks. I don't have to do any party decorations (whew!) so, I am only responsible for the edible part of the party. This year with the sick kids and busy week I don't think I could have handled any more. As it is I decided to not make the LEGO head cake pops.
The baking pans, pans and cookie cutters all came either locally from our Michaels or Amazon. It took me a while to plan out what I will be doing.
I was lucky to find a great tutorial on decorating your own sugar cookies as well as making a LEGO man head cookie cutter on Sweet Sugar Belle. I will be using those as my cookie pops, and will leave the LEGO men cookies as regular cookies.
I love being creative and starting out with some sketches and design ideas usually puts me in the mood to be artistic.
I am using some of my son's figures as guides for the facial designs. I love how diverse the expressions are.
The LEGO men are baked and once they cool I will start decorating. I will share the next parts with you tomorrow. I have a lot of boring prep work to do in the meantime.
Today I need to:
- Finish baking the cookie pops
- Make royal icing, thick and fill icing
- Outline the cookies
- Measure out dry cake ingredients for tomorrow
This looks so cool. I think I'll have to steal this idea for my son's 5th birthday party next year.
