I made Lego Mini Figure Cake Pops for my son’s Lego party! Aren’t they cute?
What you need:
- A baked cake (store bought or homemade)
- One can of frosting (or make your own)
- Yellow Candy Melts
- Gourmet Writer Food Decorator Pens
- Mini Marshmallows or M&M’s (see instructions below)
- Lollipop Sticks
- Piece of craft styrofoam
- Wax paper
Directions
- Bake a cake, let cool. Put pieces of the cake in a bowl. Mash it up mixing it with a can of frosting.
- Roll a small handful of mashed up cake into a ball, then carefully roll the ball on wax paper to make the Lego head shape.
- The connector on top is a small round marshmallow. I sliced up a large marshmallow and used a Wilton cake icing tip to cut out a small circle. You could also use a mini marshmallow cut in half or an M&M.
- Arrange assembled Lego head shapes on wax paper and stick a lollipop stick in the top.
- Once assembled, freeze the cake pops. This way the cake will hold it’s shape when you dip into the warm candy.
- Fill a deep bowl with Yellow Candy Melts. Melt the candy in the microwave for a minute, then stir. Keep gradually heating the candy until it’s creamy.
- Dip the frozen cake into a bowl of melted yellow candy melts. Gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl and twirl a bit so the candy is smooth.
- Let cool before drawing faces on them. You can use a piece of styrofoam to stick them into until you are ready for the party.

Cake pops are good for a few days. I made mine the day before the party.
Easy Lego Head Marshmallow Pops
A much faster version is to make marshmallow pops! I made several of these as a tester and they turned out super cute. 
Slicing off the bottom of a large marshmallow and cutting a circle out of it with an icing tip for the top worked great.

@Erika,
I’m wondering the same thing….did you make them ahead of time? How’d they go?
I made these and posted a photo (of mine) on Facebook. Credited this blog and posted link to the page.
I would share my photo, but don’t know how to do that.
Like the rest of your ideas these are perfect! I hope you don’t mind if I link this from my site! I can never wait to see what you have in store next, you are truly talented!
LOVE these! i just made some for my son’s birthday party – working on a post and will link back. THANKS!
I hope you don’t mind a link back on these they are great!
Just want to say : THANK YOU, I made the marshmallow “fake pops” for my son’s birthday and he gave me the title Baking Genius! He was so thrilled!
How do you let dipped marshmallow heads set up? I usually set them on their tops but you can’t do that with these?
Hi! Love the marshmallow idea! I’m going to try it for my sons 7th birthday next week. Just wondering can I make them ahead of time and freeze them??

I'm making these for my nephew's birthday party later in the week. Feel free to squeal. http://t.co/Kb3J7gqI
I want to try the marshmallow pops–do you use candy melts to attach the top ‘button’ to the head?
I am attempting to make the marshmellow pops to stick into cupcakes for my son’s birthday party next weekend. Should the marshmellows be frozen before dipping, too?

Please do not use m&m’s or other coloured candies!! I did this and now my lego heads are all discoloured from the colour melting off
This is great – thanks for sharing! I’ve linked it on my page.
These are really cute Amy! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just made some kids treats today that turned out cute…

Thanks so much for your cake pop tutorial….I made them today for my sons lego themed 9th birthday party. They turned out really well and were a huge hit!
Err Lego Head Cake Pops? I have a general distrust of cake on a stick, but these are stupidly cute http://t.co/vrEkIun
