This craft/ yummy food combination was performed with two 9 year-old's and one 6 year old. Besides it being a blast to do, it is also something yummy to eat afterwards. The kids thoroughly enjoyed making the cake. This craft can be done anywhere that has a stove. (Preferably a kitchen) Although it does require patience and lots of cleaning up to do, it was very fun to say the least!
Materials:
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Water
- Spoons
- Food dye
- Marshmallows
- White icing
- 13x9 cake pan
Steps:
- Make the two cake mixes (Vanilla & Chocolate) in separate bowls.
- Preheat your oven to temperature stated on the box
- Spray down the 13x9 sheet with a non-stick spray.
- Start plopping the mixes into the cookie sheet one flavor at a time. Drop the mix into the middle of the sheet and keep adding from the middle, alternating flavors each time. (You will notice it beginning to create a spiral effect)
- Once both cake mixes are evenly distributed and you have the spiral (Zebra) effect place the cake into bake.
- While the cakes are baking, start to prepare the icing by adding in the desired color food dye to make your Lego color.
- Take the marshmallows and cut them in half and dip them in the colored icing; set them aside for later.
- When the cake is done baking, set it out to cool.
- Once the cake is cool, ice the cake with the food dye icing of choice.
- Paste the half cut, iced marshmallows on top.
- Vaw-lah ! You have a zebra Lego cake!
