We had a fun task this weekend of making a very different birthday cake: a Minecraft themed cookie cake. Carson's birthday party is Tuesday, but he's not a fan of cookie cake. That's ok, though, because his mom told us he was a huge lover of cookie cake (who isn't?) She wanted to know if we could make a cookie cake themed after a video game he loves, Minecraft.
If you've never played Minecraft, it's an interesting concept. It's like Legos meets survivor meets Erector Set. The game involves building homes out of different "element blocks", creating things through mining, and pretty much wasting a bunch of time you already don't have. What's interesting about this game is how many people are flat out addicted to this game. Kids as young as 5 play it, as well as some of our friends who are in their 30s. It really doesn't have a limit to what it can do, unless your imagination limits it.
The graphics of the game is somewhat different and takes some getting used to. Everything's very geometric and simple looking. We felt like the game walked off our 1992 family computer. Once you get past that, though, it's easy to become addicted.
With the idea of cookie cake as the background, we wanted a tasty cake that was decorated well. We decided to make it 3D with some fun cookie blocks we built, that really kept true to the spirit.
So what do you think?

These pictures seem a little blank, and it's true, they're missing some things. There are some Minecraft figurines that need to be added to the cake too, but they won't go on the cake until it's ready to be eaten. We'll post some updated pictures later this week.
Happy birthday Carson! Hope you have a fantastic day!!
And to the rest of you out there, hope you have a wonderful week.
**UPDATE**
Finally got a picture of the completed cake. Looks like it was an awesome party!!
Happy birthday Carson.
