Mine Craft 9th Birthday Party



My son asked for another Mine Craft party for his birthday this year.  Even after a full year, he still loves this game!!  This year I decided to focus only on the cake and leave out all the decor which he was fine with.   The design I went with was a single grass block from the game.  If you are unfamiliar with the game, the grass block looks like this:



I used home made royal icing for the green grass and for the brown dirt.  I then added crushed chocolate graham crackers to the sides to create the look of dirt chunks.  On top, I placed figures I made from fondant.  Steve, a pig, a creeper and TNT stood on the grass.  I made a diamond pick axe, a diamond sword and wording with Perler Beads.  I made a checkerboard pattern that you could see when the cake was cut into.  The checkerboard blocks where green, brown and beige.  Unfortunately I forgot to snap a quick picture after the first piece was cut.  






Whoops!  Looks like we are missing half of this picture!  LOL

Such a fun time was had at this party with only his closest friends!  Pizza, cake, gifts and lots of laughing and playing around!  It was a perfect afternoon!!
