My normally Lego disapproving parents* baked me a birthday cake in the shape
of a lego brick for my 33rd Birthday last Saturday.
It was a perfect replica of a 2x2 plate, and was iced in yellow (the easiest
lego colour to match icing wise). It was fantastic. The studs had been cut
out of a second cake with a scone cutter and carefully applied.
Either by good planning or by sheer luck the proportions were perfect (stud
to plate size, stud spacing, plate thickness).
And for the delurk:

First LEGO Set: A basic set (set 700) I received in 1972 (4th Birthday)
Favorite Theme(s): Star Wars displaced Adventurers which displaced Pirates
which displaced Technic. Mostly MOCs though.
Favorite Set(s): basic set #145
Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): Red Coated Imperial Guard
Set/theme you would like to see: Colonial India… Red coated soldiers (with
pith helmets), Castles, Temples, Thuggees…
Current LEGO Project: A massive sorting effort - I've abandoned the sort by
colour method and moved onto the sort by type. Also, theres an aircraft
carrier (80 x 24 studs), which is waiting to be converted into a Calypso
style research vessel.
Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: I won #698 (airliner) and #663 (hovercraft) in
building competitions in 1978.
Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: Cooking, Cattle Spotting
Cheers
Richie
* More of the "He's a bit strange" disapproval type rather than the "no son
of ours who plays with Lego is coming into our house" type.
