My son asked for a Minecraft cake this year for his 10th birthday, now I know it’s not my best cake, but I actually thought this would be a rather easy cake – but that was far from the truth!
Minecraft – well to me it seems like digital Lego! My kids are so involved in Minecraft!
A Lesson to learn is make sure the cake is square! Trim the sides to create a proper rectangle to help the base fondant tiles stick.

10oz Margarine
10oz Caster Sugar
