Lego Cupcakes

These Lego cupcakes were for the President of my Fan Club (7-year old chapter), Joe. He begged his mom to let me make his birthday cupcakes this year, and she gave in (thanks Tina!) The birthday boy picked his favorite cake flavor, cookies and cream, with chocolate icing. I topped each cupcake with colorful sprinkles and these cool, edible "Lego" candy blocks. The candy actually stacked like real Legos too! I told Joe's mom that I would do something simple ("those are simple?!!") and they turned out really cute; perfect for the Lego Party. I'm always on the lookout for cool candy that I can incorporate into cupcakes because I have a personal rule that everything on my cakes and cupcakes be edible (I'm not sure why...I just think that's the way it should be). Happy Birthday Big Guy!
