Easy Minecraft Cake Ideas

Minecraft is a popular video game that allows players to explore, build, and create in a virtual world. Minecraft-themed cakes have become increasingly popular for birthday parties and other celebrations.

Not only do they look impressive, but they are also relatively easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and some basic decorating skills, even novice bakers can create a show-stopping Minecraft cake.

The main reason kids love Minecraft cakes is because they’re a delicious way to celebrate their favorite game. Chocolate cake with green frosting may not sound appetizing to adults, but for kids, it’s the perfect way to enjoy their birthday and their favorite game at the same time!

These birthday cakes are great for a cool Minecraft birthday party or just a special family celebration at home.

Here are some easy ideas for making a Minecraft themed cake that your child will love.

How to Make a Minecraft Cake

1. Use a store-bought (chocolate or vanilla) cake mix and decorate it with green, blue, and brown icing / frosting to resemble the grass, water, and dirt blocks found in Minecraft.

2. Make a simple chocolate cake and top it with green fondant to look like a Minecraft emerald block.

3. Make a Minecraft grass block cake with a square cake, green icing and optional green shredded coconut for grass.

4. Get creative with your decorating and make a Minecraft creeper or Enderman face out of fondant or frosting / icing.

5. Use toy Minecraft characters to decorate the top of your cake. This is a great option if you’re not confident in your cake decorating skills.

6. For a more challenging option, try making a 3D Minecraft block out of cake. This is sure to impress and delight your child.

Easy Minecraft Cake

Read on to see some amazingly easy and fun homemade Minecraft cake ideas to create that the kids will adore.

You can either bake your own cakes or buy some store-bought cakes ready to ice. The first cakes featured in this article do not use fondant…you can use whatever frosting you are most comfortable working with.

Minecraft Lego Cake

A Minecraft Lego cake is a great cake-hack where you can make a fun-looking cake super fast. To make this cake, you will need:

• Minecraft Lego – See a huge variety right here.
• 2 square cakes (chocolate or vanilla)
• Green buttercream frosting. Make your own or use Betty Crocker and color with green food coloring
• Chocolate buttercream frosting
• LCM bars or any rectangular rice crispy treat
• Blue Jello / Jelly

Place the Lego set on top of the first square cake. You don’t have to ice underneath the Lego set…just make sure that the cake is flat so that the Lego sits properly on it. You can cut the top of the cake down a bit so that it is flatter.

Use chocolate frosting for the dirt area and green frosting for the grass. I cut the second cake in half as I didn’t need it all…but it is up to you. Use as much as you please. Cut the LCM bars into square block and add some blue jello in the middle for water.

The exact Rabbit Ranch Lego set I used on this cake can be found right here.

Here is another version of a Minecraft Lego cake. This one used raw sugar as sand as well as chocolate cake with green icing and blue jello.

As you can see, the cake doesn’t need to be perfect…you just need to have fun making it and they will love it.

Minecraft Cake Ideas Without Fondant

Many people are looking for some easy Minecraft cake ideas without fondant. Unless you have worked with fondant before, buttercream or other types of spreadable frosting are often easier to handle.

Here is another simple easy Minecraft cake. If you don’t want to add Lego why not add some Minecraft figurines. You can find them right here.

Or another easy idea for a very quick to make and simple Minecraft cake is to use Minecraft pictures as cake toppers.

DIY Minecraft Cake

The next idea is one of my favorites for an easy DIY Minecraft cake that looks AMAZING. To make this spectacular cake, you need to bake or buy a couple of rectangular or square chocolate cakes and stack them. (See pictures below for stacking techniques). 

To make this cake, you will need:

• Square / Rectangular cake of choice (store-bought or bake your own)
• Green buttercream icing – Make your own or use Betty Crocker vanilla frosting (add green food coloring)
• Chocolate icing / frosting
• Minecraft Lego figures – find them right here
• Icing piping set
• Square chocolate bar blocks such as Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate

See the photo below for how to stack each cake on top of each other with icing between the layers. Add icing to the sides so that the chocolate bars will stick.

Then ice the top of the cake with green buttercream and the sides with chocolate frosting. Use a piping bag to get some fun swirly effects with your icing. The kids will truly LOVE this cake! It definitely looks the part!

The next truly AMAZING Minecraft cake was made with 20 cupcakes to shape it into the number 7. It could also be made with a rectangular slab cake cut into the appropriate number.

This is such a stunning-looking cake – the variation in the green frosting and the fun toppers just make it look so special….too good to eat!

To make this cake you will need:

• 20 cupcakes (or more depending on your number), or
• Rectangular slab cakes to cut into a number shape

Apart from using cupcakes, you could also make this cake with a rectangular cake cut into the shape of the number.

To help you cut the cake into the right shape, print a one-page word document with your number on it – with the font as large as possible. Then cut out the paper and lay it on top of your cake to help guide your cutting.
