Using the ice cube tray for the chocolate Lego men.
I chose milk chocolate because I thought the black belt would show better on the lighter colour chocolate.
The finished men, and their piped coloured belts.
Lined up, according to rank!
They look a bit like that Chinese Terracotta Army when they're all lined up, I think.
All the coloured belts.Cakes for the Kung Fu Christmas party called for something special, especially as most people knew I'm a cake-maker but hadn't had the chance to taste any yet.
I made chocolate cakes with a pinch or two of Chinese Five Spice (it's a Chinese martial art, you see), and little chocolate Lego men using my Lego ice cube tray, with the different colour belts piped on with royal icing.
For once I was making cakes for personal consumption, so I could use fresh cream instead of buttercream to top them. Yum.
