Lego City

So last month I got an inquiry from a woman wanting a Lego City cake for her son's 6th birthday. She sent me a link to a horrifyingly detailed cake, pictured below:

The only thing was she needed to feed less than 20 six year olds, so that would have been far too much cake. The one requirement her son had was the cake had to have a helicopter on top, so we decided to use the bottom tier as inspiration. 

I was able to replicate the cake pretty well, with a few tweaks, including a helipad on top.  

Even still, I'm looking at this cake trying to imagine how it will look with the helicopter and other Lego decor. I am so used to making sweet little cakes, I just didn't know what to think of the cake. I was hesitant and starting to doubt myself, convinced she was going to hate it. 

Then, my husband comes home and walks in the kitchen. He looks at the cake and yells "COOL!!" Considering men never grow up, I figured that was going to be indicative of Cannon's reaction. 

I was so happy to hear everyone loved the cake. And seriously, these Legos just absolutely made the cake!!
