The popularity of Minecraft shows no signs of slowing down and, if anything, it remains one of the most popular games out there at the moment with countless people still obsessed over this block-filled world.

And a game being popular means that there will be all sorts of things you can buy in relation to it – and that includes cakes! But if you have someone who has a birthday coming up and they are a Minecraft fan, you may want to bake a cake yourself for them but you’ll need the right cake toppers and recipes at hand.

We have you covered here with some of the best Minecraft cake decorations you can buy, along with some actual recipes too! So read on to make the best Minecraft cake you can.

The best Minecraft cake toppers and decorations

If you want to go the easy route, then you can just buy a premade cake and design it from there to give it a Minecraft flare. If that is your choice, you will need some Minecraft cake toppers and decorations and, happily, there are many of them about to buy.

If you only want the toppers themselves, then these ones are cheap and cheerful and will also work if you have a birthday for someone who just like gaming in general – rather than being someone who is avidly devoted just to Minecraft.

Hollymuffin’s Creeper Cake

Hollymuffin

There is no shortage of Minecraft cake recipe ideas out there, and one quick Google search will bring up many results. The best for our money though comes from Hollymuffin and the design for the Creeper Cake.

Apparently, the “hardest part of this cake was creating perfect Minecraft blocks” so keep that in mind, but for how to make one that looks as good as this, make sure you follow Holly’s instructions as with any cake, the possibility of going wrong is very high!
