[quote=Anonymous]I'm planning to make a Lego Cake for my DS, but I'm definitely not a baking expert, so here goes.  I'm using the design in the link below, but I'm not sure about what flavors would be best.  Here's what I'm planning to do and here's what I need your help with:

- Baking a 9x13 cake
- Using Duff Buttercream fondant to cover the cake 
- Will place Legos (made from candy melt) on top of the cake. I think I'll leave the sides w/o the Legos.

Given that I'm using both fondant and candy melt Legos, I know the cake will be on the sweet side.  That being said, what flavor cake would work best? Vanilla? (The lady that made this cake used chocolate cake and frosting, which I think might be overly sweet!!)

Would I need to use buttercream frosting to adhere the fondant to the cake?  If I go with vanilla, does anyone have a made from scratch recipe for vanilla cake? I've tried a few on my own and they tend to come out pretty dry or too spongy. I've not yet found a recipe where the cake is dense, moist, and flavorful.
