You can feel free to use chocolate icing and dot it along the side of the cake to decorate it even more and make it look more aesthetically pleasing. 

Minecraft Village Cake 

Taking things up a notch, this is yet another excellent Minecraft cake idea that you can surely try your hands on, courtesy of Ann Reardon, who makes amazing cakes on Youtube. Minecraft villages are typically used to make houses, and they are used to populate villagers and create a small town. 

For this, you will need a lot of sheet cakes, some vanilla, and some chocolate cakes. You will need to layer cakes; in some places, layer three cakes, and in others, two cakes. You can either buy pre-made Minecraft blocks or make everything using fondant for the buildings. 

Another excellent option is to make sheet cakes and cut them into smaller squares, then assemble them like building blocks so that you can make them look like a Minecraft village. 

Minecraft Dirt block cake 

Another cake idea is that you can try out is going back to the basics of Minecraft, where you are spawned in nothing but wilderness, and you have to start your survival with basic dirt blocks. So, why not take that survival mindset, and come up with a creative dirt block such as this one inspired by Ann Reardon that is also a cake. 

To make this cake, you will need approximately 3-4 sheet cakes, each one inch thick, and you will need to stack them on top of each other. Once you have done that, go ahead and ice the cake to get a “crumb coat,” which allows the cake to become smooth so that the fondant can sit on top of it without breaking. 

Using different shades of brown fondant, cut out small squares representing the pixels in the Minecraft dirt block, and start to randomly place these pieces, making sure that it looks like a dirt block. Finish it all off with green fondant for the grass, and you are left with a beautiful cake design!

Using birch-colored fondant, cover the top of the cake and flatten it out. Using some food-safe markers, you can start to color the edges black.
