In the game it takes patience to build anything. This cake is the same it takes 1,280 tiny fondant squares to make this 3D minecraft logo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fn\">minecraft cake instructions<\/h3>\n<p>To start with you will need to make a cake. \u00a0You can use a packet mix or if you&#8217;d prefer homemade like I do, then try either the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/how-to-make-a-princess-cake-using-buttercream\/\" target=\"_blank\">vanilla cake recipe<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/best-chocolate-cake-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\">chocolate mud cake<\/a>. \u00a0Depending on the depth of your cake tin you will need to make two or three square cakes and then stack them on top of each other, sandwiched with buttercream to make a cube.<\/p>\n<p>The cake I made once trimmed down, before icing was 15cm (5.91 inches) x 15cm (5.91 inches)<\/p>\n<p>Trim down the edges to get an exactly square shape slightly smaller than your template and then smother in buttercream (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/buttercream-cupcake-frosting-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\">buttercream recipes are here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Use paper towel to smooth off you sides and sharpen your corners. See the video for a demonstration on how to do this and the rest of the cake.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2iTJHcdQCh8\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase fondant or make your own, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/recipe-for-home-made-fondant-sugar-paste\/\" target=\"_blank\">fondant recipe is here<\/a>.

If you have not worked with fondant before there is a post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/sugar-paste-fondant-cake-decorations\/\" target=\"_blank\">fondant basics here<\/a>. \u00a0Allow approx 200g (7.05 ounces) of fondant for each colour.<\/p>\n<p>Print the side template below. Cover it in baking paper and roll out one of your colours to the size of the white square. Using a pizza cutter cut strips and then turn to cut squares. The lines in the blue section will act as you guidelines for this.

Slide your baking paper onto something firm but thin, like cardboard. Line up the bottom edge with the base of the cake and then lift up and push into place. Remove the cardboard and use a fondant smoother to flatten, then peel off the baking paper. When you do the top green section do not put water on it, instead put the cardboard on top of it, and flip it over. Then put in position on the cake and slide the cardboard out of the way. Then finish the other sides in the same manner as the first.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2659\" title=\"minecraft cake\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301-764x1024.jpg\" alt=\"minecraft cake how to make reardon\" width=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301-300x402.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301-60x80.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301-400x536.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9301.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><br \/>\nIf you have left over fondant you can make more squares and use on pieces of cake or chocolate honeycomb squares.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2660\" title=\"minecraft party birthday cake\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9361-1024x764.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a 3d minecraft fondant cake\" width=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9361-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9361-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9361-60x44.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9361-400x299.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4.3352<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\", \n  \"@type\": \"Recipe\", \n  \"name\": \"3D Minecraft Fondant Birthday Cake\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_9271-1024x764.jpg\",\n  \"description\": \"Minecraft is a game where you can explore, create, discover, mine and craft a whole world.
