Lego Silicone cake and jelly mould - anyone got any recipes??

[rubytwokids]

Hello. I bought one of these at Legoland last week, full of enthusiasm about the wonderful lego-shaped cakes I would bake for DH and the dcs... but either I would have been better off buying more actual lego, or I just haven't found the right recipe for it. My honey cake was tasty, but rather on the heavy side and most of the Lego 'nipples' got stuck in the pan.

I then tried jelly, but could not get the jelly bricks out and, again, the 'nipples' stayed behind.

Has anyone got one of these 'tins' and a recipe that goes really well with it?

Thank you!

you can get lego ice trays, they look brill

My friend made a lego brick cake but I am sure she just made a rectangle cake and then put the round bits on the top using icing. It looked really good!

I can ask her if you want

Ah, Littlelapin, no I didn't. Are you meant to oil and flour silicone bakeware too? I will try that next time - thank you.

Southeastastra, yep, those look very cool. Apparently you can pour melted chocolate into them and then build with chocolate lego. Presumably you could do the same with the cake 'tins', but that would take an obscene amount of chocolate!

Stirlingmum, yes please!

Thank you, all.
