In this Instructable, I'm going to show you how to make gummy candies. I made a silicone candy mold using Lego bricks. You don't need to make a custom mold. There are many commercially available silicone molds, or you could just skip the mold completely, and cut them with cookie cutters, a knife, or even scissors.
THIS PROJECT IS NOT ENDORSED BY LEGO. DON'T MAKE THE MOLD, OR THE CANDIES FOR SALE. - FOR PERSONAL DELICIOUS GEEKY BLISS ONLY First I'll tell you how to make the candy. I'll explain in detail how I made the mold in step 4. It really is very easy. UserGabebillings made the mold and documented the process in photos.

I bought the Food Grade Silicone from Douglas & Sturgess. They are a great San Francisco store that sells artists materials, mostly for sculpture and casting. They have some great info on their site.If you have kiddos that might mistake real bricks for the candy, you should consider whether it is safe to make these for them. Vegan option There is another kind of jelly candy called gellies or jellies. Those are made with Pectin. It's a different recipe entirely.
I don't know how well they would mold though. Here is a Pectin Fruit Jelly Instructable. I haven't tested it in the mold but it seems like it should work.

This particular cake was for a friend's son, who was having his eighth birthday. My friend's son is madly into LEGOs, and when he saw a building block cake on LEGO's website, he fell in love. My friend, who is a magnificent cook but doesn't bake, asked if I would try it. I went looking online for LEGO cake inspiration and discovered many, many cakes -- but a dearth of really practical directions. There are zillions of LEGO cakes out there, with varying degrees of sophisticated decoration. Want a LEGO wedding cake in progress, complete with dump trucks and cranes carrying rolls of fondant? How about Indiana Jones LEGOs? A 300-pound Batman LEGO cake? I was after something simpler and yet authentic.
The most common recipe was at the Betty Crocker website and it called for marshmallows, canned frosting, and boxed cake mix. Plus, it didn't look very much like real LEGO bricks. My two inspirations were these cakes: I could find very little info on the first cake, but the second cake was by a gifted amateur named Kevin. He very kindly emailed me the info on how he made his son's cake, but it required official LEGO cake molds. I didn't have the time to acquire those, so I was on my own. (But if I ever do this again, I'm following Kevin's method: he painted the building blocks with melted candy to give them that shiny plastic look. All I wanted was two LEGO bricks, made out of cake. But I didn't want to just carve up a couple cakes and call it done. Proportion and dimensions are everything in LEGO engineering, and I wanted these cakes to be done right. How would I make sure the knobs were the right size, proportionally, to the height and width of the cake? How would I know if the cake was tall enough?
So my husband (a real-life engineer) and I went searching for LEGO dimensions online (turns out they are easily available), did a little math, and presto - a proportional, anatomically correct LEGO cake was within reach. So, just in case you have a LEGO geek in your life, here are step-by-step instructions on constructing an anatomically correct, perfectly proportional LEGO block. As you'll see near the end, the actual finishing of this cake left quite a lot to be desired: fondant is not my strong point. We joked that it was a LEGO brick that had gone through the microwave (or maybe the dog's teeth) a few times. But it was a start, and if you're looking to make a similar cake, maybe you can finish it off better. Here's the basic template, with a gallery of the steps in photos above. And that is how to make a LEGO cake that is proportionally, anatomically correct. Have you ever made a LEGO cake? If so, share photos! And if you have any tips for others on getting that smooth, glossy LEGO finish, please do share them!
