I made these cake pops for my son’s Lego party! Aren’t they cute? Not bad for my first attempt at Bakerella’s adorable creations.
Directions
- Bake a cake and mash it up with a can of frosting.
- Roll a small handful of mashed up cake into a ball, then carefully rolled 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 frosting tip to cut out a small circle. You could also use a mini marshmallow cut in half or an M&M.
- Arrange on wax paper and stick a lollipop stick in the top.
- Once assembled, freeze the cake pops, then dip into yellow candy melts and let cool before drawing faces on them.

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 a frosting tip for the top worked great.

Amy, you are simply brilliant! My son is turning 5 at the end of June and has requested a Lego Star Wars party. Tried everything to convince him a genetic Lego party would be cool but he’s adamant, so Star Wars it is! Dying to see what else you did for your lucky little boy’s b-day bash!

@April,
Mine wanted a Lego Star Wars party too. I talked him into a generic one that way he could play with ALL of the different Legos:-)

The cake pops are so cute. What a perfect way to represent Minifigs!! I espeically love the idea of using marshmallows to make it easier.
We had a Lego party at our house last year and the kids loved it. I made a Lego cake, but I was more fnd of the Lego cupcakes I made. They turned out so cool and were very easy. Check it out if you have a chance…

@Aimee,
Your cupcakes were really cute! I was going to do that with Lego candy, but I couldn’t find anything around here. You have to order them and I never plan that far ahead. Thanks for sharing!

No way! I thought those were real Lego heads until I saw the half-eaten one. How cool are those?! My son would’ve loved a party like that a few years ago.

Love these! Totally impressed with all the Lego birthday stuff you have been sharing. Can’t wait to read the whole post about it.
I will be doing a Lego birthday party for my son in August. Will be “borrowing” many of your ideas. Not sure, yet, if I’m going to attempt the Lego head cake pops; but I can promise you I’ll be purchasing your printable Lego party pack.

Wow! Great idea.

Oh Amy!!!
These are just the most clever thing!!!
Over many years my boys collected and played with Lego.
They built the huge ships and cars towns.
Emma came along and she collected the people from the boys piles.
How she and her girlfriend loved the faces.
The girls made houses.
We got a kick out of the red headed people and the girl faces.
These are too cute!!!!

@Miz Booshay,
Thanks Donna! We are big Lego fans. The only thing I don’t like about them is when I step on one and that’s a daily thing around here:-)

the trick to getting LEGO picked up is bring out the vacuum, set it down and not turning it quite yet – OH my kids panic and pick up faster than you can imagine. If that doesn’t work turn on the vacuum suck up some small noisy peice of whatever…they panic, turn off walk away! We love LEGO and I am loving the LEGO party can’t wait until next summer thank you!
LOVE it Amy!! you did a fantastic job!!…..I Stumbled this post too!

How did you get your icing colors to be so blue/orange? I have been requested to do blue and orange cupcakes this weekend by my little guy.

Oh my goodness. What a great idea. The marshmallows are so much easier than the cake. No rolling into balls. My cake balls were not nearly as cute.
