Even edible bricks, made for a lego theme wedding.

Meet newlyweds Emma and Jon Chapman, the British couple behind THAT Lego wedding cake, which went viral last week and prompted orders from across the world. The influx of orders to family-owned baking business in South London, Cupcakes by SJ (aka Emma’s cousin, aunt and uncle), was so huge, they even had to take to Facebook to say they couldn’t possibly fulfill them.

Lego cakes are really popular these days. There are a lot of gadgets you can buy to make it easier to create them too. I've been avoiding making one because most people really don't want to pay the amount it would cost to make one.

And how do you cut it into slices? You'd need a big serving tray and flop it onto its side to operate on it, and that defeats the presentation.

Ever see what happens to a real piñata, flopping it on it's side is nothing.

That's a pretty impressive cake. I'll bet the kids would have loved it!

Not in particular. In fact, if anything I think it's a little busier.

Is this wedding time down there. Here it's traditionally a May/June peak, along with graduation parties.

August to October and March to May here, but really it's all year round. The weather is pretty good all year. September is the peak month though. Middle of spring and all that romantic blah blah.

Hey Ali, I see a woman set a new Aussie record when caught driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.48(yes, she should have been dead). It wasn't you was it?

This could be cupcakes, or even adapted to a cake.
