My big guy loves LEGO, like Loooooves it! A while back I rediscovered Lego Candy at the Bulk Barn and when a friend said they would work well on Cupcakes, I knew she was right!
We made these fun and easy LEGO Cupcakes for my oldest son’s class bake sale and they were a big hit!
LEGO Cupcakes
For these lego cupcakes, I used a regular white cake mix but added a bit of blue food colouring for fun. Bake as directed on the box.
The icing is a basic buttercream icing tinted light blue with Wilton food colouring and piped on in a classic swirl.
Buttercream Frosting
1/2 c. solid vegetable shortening
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
4 c. sifted confectioners’ sugar (approx. 1 lb.)
2 tbsp. milk
Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often.
When all sugar has been mixed in, the icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at high speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results keep in refrigerator when not in use. Yield: 3 cups.
My son did the honours of decorating each cupcake with 3 [easyazon_link identifier=”B008C4OKKM” locale=”US” tag=”m0dd5d-20″ localize=”y”]brick candy[/easyazon_link] pieces, he was pretty excited about this and did a great job! You can find the candies at amazon or your local bulk food store might carry them as well.
If you can’t find the candy, making your own might be fun too with silicone molds.
LEGO Cupcakes are so simple to put together but look so darn cool the kids can’t resist them, because what kid doesn’t love LEGO right? These would be really fun for a LEGO themed birthday party!

OMG Jenn, I really love these. 🙂 They are beautiful and I bet they taste yummy! Pretty enough for the girls and awesome enough for the boys. 😀
so true!
I rediscovered LEGO blocks at Bulk Barn a while back, and let’s just say, they never make it on to the cupcakes! My son has already been planning his birthday cake this year, and guess what… he wants a LEGO cake. Thankfully, with some fondant and a rectangle cake and little cupcakes for the top pieces, he will have a fancy lego cake, with some LEGO cupcakes on the side!
Love these, they are so cute!
So cute! I used to love Lego as a kid. Am hoping my boys will too someday!

I love fun cupcakes! These are awesome. I used those Lego candies in a train cake last year! Beautiful pics, btw!
