My now 7 year old boy, that's who! We borrowed this fabulous legoman silicone mold from my bro and sis in law who went to Legoland and bought it there.
I made a lego guy for each set he got for his birthday from us. A lego Clone Trooper...
A knight...
And a policeman.I think he liked it. :)
In order to frost so many curves, I used a flat/basketweave tip to pipe over the lego guys like they were mummies. Then I froze the cakes again once I frosted them all over. When they were frozen, I took one out at a time and used a tapered cake spatula (that I dunked in hot water and dried lightly on a paper towel) to smooth the mummified dudes. It took a couple of times freezing and working with the frosting, but in the end, it was much easier than trying to get into all the cracks with a spatula and getting frustrated and upset (which I would have done, I assure you).
What tips do you have to share?

Those are so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are seriously the best mom! Those cakes are fabulous! I love that picture of JJ. You captured his genuine excitement. Awesome!!
We love that boy so much. Hug him for us. And kiss him for us too. You'll probably have to chase him down first, that's what Lily would do.
I just looked at them again. I can't get over it. Those are so awesome!!
they came out so cute & I hear ya woth the getting frustrated!!! That is a great idea to use the flat tip and then freeze & "melt-spread" so to speak. Your son looked thrilled!
