Minecraft is a game where you can explore, create, discover, mine and create a whole world. The game requires patience to build something. And this Minecraft cake is no exception, because to create it you will have to collect 1280 tiny squares of fondant to get a 3D Minecraft logo. But mind you, it's worth it!

Minecraft cake recipe

First you need to bake the cake itself. You can use a ready-made mix, or if you prefer homemade, then try either the chocolate cake recipe below, or any other of your choice. Depending on the depth of your broiler, you will need to bake two or three square cakes and then stack them on top of each other, brushing with whatever cream you like. As a result, you should get a cube that you will turn into the Minecraft cake shown in the photo.

A 15 cm x 15 cm cake was made for this recipe.

Cut off the edges of the cakes to get a square shape. She'll be a little smallerthan your template. Then spread cream on the Minecraft cake (see cream recipe below).

Use a paper towel to smooth the sides and sharpen the corners.

You can buy ready-made mastic or make your own according to the recipe below. Then you will need to color it in green, brown, gray. You will need approximately 200 g of each color (if there are more colors, the amount of mastic of each color will decrease).

Prepare the template in advance, as shown in the photo. Cover it with baking paper and roll out one of the fondant colors on it. Using a pizza cutter, cut the sheet into even squares. Repeat with each of the prepared flowers.

Take another piece of baking paper and brush lightly with butter or margarine, wiping off excess with paper towel. Place it on your template and secure the edges with masking tape in position. Then lay out the squares obtained earlier along the line. Don't forget that the top of the sides and the top of the cube should be green.

Lightly dampen the mastic with a brush. Lay the baking paper on top of something hard but thin, such as cardboard. Bring the bottom edge up to the base of the cake, then lift the fondant sheet up and place it against the side. Remove the cardboard and then carefully remove the baking paper. Do not lubricate the upper green section with water, place the sheet on the cardboard and turn it over sharply, then slide the cardboard to the side. Repeat steps for each ofthe remaining sides of the Minecraft cake.

If you have leftover fondant, you can make more squares and use on leftover cakes. As a result, you will get a wonderful set of cupcakes and Minecraft cake.
