Yes, yes I know this looks like a Legos cake. I didn't want to use their trademark name and plus, I got this idea from Betty Crocker a while ago. Not totally original, but a fun idea like this belongs on Nibble Dish, too :). Definitely fun for kids or kids at heart.- Cake mix of your choice
- 2-3 large eggs (depending on the recipe)
- Vegetable oil
- Water/milk
- Large marshmallows
- 1-2 cans of white frosting
- Food coloring
- Rectangular pan
- Small bowls
- Small spatulas
How to make Stacking Blocks Cake
BAKE!
- Make the cake as directed on the box. Usually you mix the wet ingredients together first then add the cake mix gradually and stir until smooth.
- Set the oven to the directed time on the cake mix box.
- Oil the cake pan and make sure you cover most of it well so the cake doesn't stick.
- Pour mix into pan.
- Bake until done.
- Once the cake is cooled, cut pieces of the cake into squares and rectangles.
- Make sure each piece is about an inch or so thick, this way the marshmallows will stick!
- Cut marshmallows in half and put frosting under each one and stick on the cake.
- Square pieces get 4 marshmallows, big rectangles get 6, and the small rectangles get 2.
- Now with the frosting, separate it into small bowls and add drops of food coloring into the frosting.
- Mix the frosting well and frost your blocks!
- Once ready, put into the fridge to chill.
- Serve and enjoy!

annedn saysThanks for the nice comments! :) From the original Betty Crocker picture, it looked like they used fondant (but they didn't) to smooth everything out. I guess once the frosting hardens a bit, use a small spatula or a knife to even out the peaks and bumps.
