The Best Minecraft Cake Recipes
Minecraft is still as popular as ever and with that, Minecraft-themed birthdays are just as popular. Now, many home-baking parents are asking how to make a Minecraft cake. So, here are some of the best and easiest Minecraft Cake recipes and designs to make for your kids.
The Easy Minecraft Creeper Cake
Let’s start off with our favorite Minecraft cake from HollyMuffin.com. This is our favorite because you can buy the fondant, cake mix, and buttercream frosting already made and simply put the cake together. However, if you would like to make all the elements from scratch, this cake would still be fairly simple to create.
Kerri (the Holly Muffin blogger) takes you step-by-step through how she designed this cake. Although she focuses on the creeper design, you can use this same strategy on other Minecraft characters, such as an Enderman, using different shades of black and purple, instead of green and white. Or perhaps use shades of pink and create the Minecraft pig.

Creeper Pull-Away Cupcakes
This video from Kidspiration has several Minecraft crafting tips that would make any Minecraft-themed birthday even better, but our favorite is the Creeper Pull-Away Cupcakes.
Start with any flavor cupcake you’d like and simply use icing to cover the cupcakes, trace an outline of the design, and pipe (using a star-tip) each cupcake square in a different green-toned frosting, then use black for the face. Though this recipe showcases the creeper face, this is another recipe that can be altered to other Minecraft characters or creatures.
