I love making fun desserts as long as they’re easy enough for my limited skill set. This includes the homemade birthday cake that my boys ask me for each year.

I think the LEGO birthday cake I made a few years ago was my favorite but this Simple Minecraft cake might top it. Elliot asked for a Minecraft cake design that ended up being very simple to make and turned out super cute. (if I do say so myself!)

How to create an Easy Minecraft Birthday Cake

A Minecraft Snowman or Snow Golem is a very easy cake design. It’s all about using different size cake pans including a square cake pan, a smaller square pan and a larger rectangular pan.

Cake pans for an easy Minecraft cake

I used standard 9″ X 11″ and 9″ X 9″ cake pans for the bottom and middle parts of the Minecraft Snowman. I decided not to buy a smaller square pan for the head and instead made one using foil.

It was my first time creating a custom cake pan from foil and it was quite easy. I recommend watching a youtube video if you are interested in making your own custom cake pan.

Simple Minecraft Cake Recipe

I used a large bowl and electric mixer to combine two boxes of white cake mix together. Then I used the double batch of cake to fill the three pans evenly. Since the cake will be completely frosted using white buttercream frosting you can make any flavor cake from chocolate cake to carrot cake that you want!

Freezing the baked cakes overnight made them easier to decorate on the day of the party. For a more precise look you could trim the tops of the cake layers before decorating.

I arranged them onto a large poster board before frosting them. Definitely, keep the extra large size of this cake design in mind if you need to refrigerate it prior to the party. It took up the entire bottom shelf of my fridge.

Generously frost the cakes with white buttercream frosting, no food coloring necessary! I made a double batch of buttercream frosting in order to have enough to cover all three cakes.

You can never have too much frosting. 😉 Once the cake is frosted you are ready to add the snowman face, buttons, and arms.

Chocolate Covered Snowman Arms

Originally I was going to use Giant Pocky sticks for the Minecraft snowman’s arms. I couldn’t find them locally and waited too long to order them in time, so I had to make my own chocolate covered breadsticks instead.

They are simple to make using large crunchy breadsticks and melted chocolate. I microwaved chocolate chips in 10-second intervals, stirring each time until it was melted. Chocolate easily burns and becomes a toxic mess, so be careful.

I placed the breadsticks on a pan covered in parchment paper for easy cleanup. Drizzle the chocolate over each one until it was completely covered. Then pop the pan into the freezer for a few minutes to harden the chocolate again.

Once you are chocolate arms are ready to go, insert one on each side of the snowman. Add dark chocolate squares to mimic the Minecraft Snowman buttons and face. I used mini chocolate squares for the face and standard chocolate squares for the snowman buttons.

I recommend googling what a Minecraft Snowman looks like if you aren’t sure. You will see my cake is pretty spot on.

If you are really ambitious you can attempt a standing (3D) Minecraft Snowman cake but I’m pretty happy with my flat Minecraft Snowman version. It makes the perfect easy Minecraft Birthday Cake that anyone can make!
