Sounds awesome ... but very challenging.

I agree and happy fifth birthday to Danny.

 

[boohbah]

thanks guys,yeah about 40 mins to go to see if one sponge is enough,
if not it will have to be one of these

instead of one of these

Happy birthday to Danny

Best wishes for Danny. A very very happy b'day.

 

[boohbah]

Thanks
The studs for the top are made,
The second sponge is cooling (we decided it needed the two.)
we will have to finish decorating it later but the difficult bits are done now, just finnished cleaning up to make way for building lego monsters vampyre castle when danny gets home.
he got other lego presents too, so that is the theme for this years birthday.

Well done Julian, looking forward to seeing the end results. Sending Happy Birthday wishes to Danny, it's my eldest grandsons birthday today as well he's 15.

Sounds like Danny is going to have a very nice birthday Julian, well done mom and dad

thanks jerry ,
the cake turned out ok in the end, though i wouldnt get any prizes for it.
like most home bakes ive tried something always cocks up. anyway as it was for a five year old we just about got away with it.

 

[Bongo]

I bet he was smiling Julian

 

[boohbah]

yeah he added the ladder and the Deadpool figure, said Deadpool was cutting the cake with his swords , he did have a lego shark eating the corner at one point, it was nice seeing him interact with his cake as most cakes get looked at,candles blown then eaten,
this one he got to play with before our meal.

I think the cake looks awesome, Julian. You and Lois did a great job! My birthday is in December. You're more than welcome to work up something with a single malt scotch theme. Action figures totally optional.

 

[kado897]

Nice Julian.

 

[boohbah]

thanks guys,
lee.
i reckon i could whip up a bottle of malt scuplting it out of mashed potatoes. maybe use peas and sweetcorn for the label and a drizzle of iron bru to give it that authentic liquid look .
i would sprinkle it with sugar but you whisky drinkers dont usually have a sweet tooth.

Today Danny is five, so lois and i are baking his birthday cake.
as he loves lego we came up with the idea of a lego block decorated with a couple of minifigures from the series 11 that he doesn't already have.
icing it should be a challenge ,i had the idea of using a swiss roll and slicing it so they become the studs on the top of the cake. covering them will be tricky
anyhow i will take some pics along the way.
mix is made and about to go in the oven.
