What is a Minecraft Cake?

A Minecraft Cake is a whimsical tribute to the block-building universe we all love, transforming ordinary cake into edible pixels. The name might sound techy, but trust me—it’s as simple as stacking sugar cubes (if sugar cubes tasted like vanilla and rainbows). Why “Minecraft”? Well, let’s just say the way to a gamer’s heart is through their stomach… and a perfectly placed block of chocolate fondant.

How to Make a Minecraft Cake


Quick Overview: This cake is easy, customizable, and kid-approved. Bake a sheet cake, slice it into blocks, and decorate with colored fondant. Total time: 2 hours (including decorating).

Key Ingredients

  • 2 boxes vanilla cake mix (+ ingredients listed on box)
  • 4 cups vanilla buttercream (recipe below)
  • Gel food coloring (green, brown, black)
  • 1 lb store-bought fondant (divided into green, brown, and black portions)
  • Optional: Oreo crumbs, rainbow sprinkles, or edible gold dust

Buttercream Recipe: Beat 1 cup softened butter, 4 cups powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, and 3 tbsp milk until fluffy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Bake the Base: Prepare cake mix per box instructions. Pour into a 9×13” pan and bake. Cool completely.
  2. Carve Blocks: Slice cake into 2” squares. Stack 2-3 layers with buttercream between each.
  3. Color Fondant: Knead gel coloring into fondant until vibrant. Roll out and cut into 1” squares.
  4. Assemble: Press fondant squares onto cake blocks. Add Oreo “dirt” or sprinkle “redstone” details.

What to Serve With Your Minecraft Cake

  • “TNT” Snacks: Dyed-red rice cereal treats wrapped in printable TNT labels.
  • Slime Punch: Lime soda with green gummy worms.
  • Dirt Cups: Chocolate pudding layered with crushed Oreos and gummy “worms.”

Top Tips for Perfecting Your Minecraft Cake

  • Gel Colors Work Best: They’re brighter than liquid food coloring.
  • Chill Fondant: Cold fondant is easier to shape.
  • Involve Kids: Let them place blocks—it’s mess-proof fun!

Storing and Reheating Tips


Store cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Fondant may soften; briefly chill before serving. Freeze undecorated cake layers for up to 1 month.
