Lego Cupcake Ingredients:
1 box chocolate cake mix plus additional ingredients per directions (oil, eggs)
OR your favorite cupcake recipe OR (homemade or store-bought – it’s up to you!)
Icing, (homemade or store-bought – your call) I prefer stiffer icing for cupcakes so they will hold their shape.
Mini M&M’s in blue, red, orange, and green – 8 of the same color for each cupcake
5 Food dye colors for the icing – Gray, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow
6 Plastic Piping Bags, you will need 2 piping bags for the gray icing, one with a small cut tip and one with a large cut tip
How to Make Lego Cupcakes
Bake Cupcakes per recipe and cool completely. Gather the piping bags, icing, M&M’s, and cupcakes.
Mix the icing in five separate bowls using five colors and put each color in a piping bag. For the gray frosting, put it in two piping bags, one with a large cut tip and the second in a separate piping bag with a small cut tip. Put the blue, red, orange, and green frosting in piping bags with small cut tips.
With the large cut-tip bag, pipe gray frosting in a smooth swirl on each cupcake.
Use any colored frosting to outline a rectangle in the center of each cupcake using all four of the primary icing colors.
Next, fill in the outlined rectangle with frosting.
Place 8 of the same color mini M&M’s in 2 rows on the rectangle as shown.
Repeat this process with each color frosting.
Use the gray piping bag with a small cut tip to create the Lego board pegs in line with the M&M’s on each cupcake. This will give the appearance that the legos are lying on a Lego board.
