10 3/4 ounces frozen pound cakes
-
Large marshmallows, halved crosswise
-
Tiny marshmallows
-
2
pounds powdered sugar
-
3/4
cup milk
-

Green paste food coloring (about 1/4 teaspoon)

1. While still frozen, cut pound cakes into various-sized squares and rectangles to resemble interlocking building blocks. For the larger pieces, press large marshmallow halves into the pieces, cut sides down. Press tiny marshmallows into the smaller pieces of pound cake.
2. Place cake pieces on a wire rack over a tray or shallow baking pan lined with waxed paper; set aside. Place milk in a very large bowl. Gradually stir in powdered sugar until smooth and icing is of a thicker drizzling consistency.
3. Divide icing into four or five smaller bowls. Tint frostings using paste food coloring, leaving icing in one bowl plain, if desired. Spoon icing over cake pieces to coat each piece evenly with icing, spreading as necessary.
4. Allow cake pieces to stand on rack at room temperature at least one hour until icing is set. Arrange cake pieces on serving platter or tray to serve. Makes 16 servings.

My 7-year old loved it! Frosting it was simple with some tips. 1) Stick the marshmallows to cake with crisco. 2) Place cake pieces on wire rack above drip pan. 3) Make very drizzly frosting, and use white on all pieces. 4) While first layer sets, thicken frosting and add desired colors. 5) Drizzle different colors over different lego blocks and wait until set. 6) You only need a third layer if you want it to look super professional.

It would be perfect for a kids birthday cake. Frosting the marshmallows was very interesting and MESSY! If they make a spray icing that may be the way to go with this one!
