When Keith decided that he wanted a Ninjago party, I was planning on making it really simple and easy. And then I started planning and Keith had his input and the next thing you know.... I'm. Making. Fondant.
My original plan was to order a sheet cake from Von's and putting the Lego Ninjagos on top. Add candles and fire and VIOLA! Keith requested a Mom-made cake instead. So down the path we went and here is the finished product.
As it turns out, marshmallow fondant is really easy to make. And you can make it in advance. I made a three layer chocolate cake (from scratch) and chocolate frosting. Covered it with fondant and you have a Ninjago. Jay the Blue Ninjago. Keith's former favorite Ninjago, prior to the information that Jay likes the girl Ninjago Nya. At which time Keith ditched Jay for Cole (the black ninjago). He was still happy with his cake, wrong Ninjago and everything.
For my first adventure in fondant I thought it turned out pretty well.
While I was making a cake I decided to go ahead and make some Lego topped cupcakes. You can buy a mold but I did them by hand. I used a cookie cutter to shape the squares and rectangles and made the tiny circles with my icing tip. Labor intensive but appealing.
