Computer Game Cakes
Really I have no interest in any computer games, not even Candy Crush which many people I know are addicted to. So when people ask me to make cakes relating to computer games, I always find it tricky to ensure I achieve exactly what the child or person loves about the game, and often have to rely on the expertise of my 11 & 5 year old sons!!! Minecraft cakes have been really popular recently. I have made 3 in about 6 weeks, with their characters, and the cake covered in hundreds of black, brown, and green squares. As I have said before having the Internet with such a good supply of pictures is is really useful. However it still takes time to cut out the 400 or so squares and stick them on the cake in straight lines to get the overall effect!!! Then there is the standing figures which obviously also have to be standing when they reach their final destination. Figures can be tricky and making them strong enough often involves inserting dowels, cocktail sticks or cake pop sticks ...
