Love the cake Hally but I'm completely at a loss as to what minecraft is all about.  I'm sure the boys will love it though.

Yes it took a while, cp loves it & his friends will too. Thank yiu everyone, made with love for him :)

JD Minecraft is really virtual lego.  All the kids, boys & girls go crazy over this at cps age. I think its the most boring game out ever, lol.

Thanks Hally, I guess I'll hear about it when Fletcher is a bit older.  He still has a pack of ordinary lego in my gifts to him this year, a garbage truck - that's his latest ambition, wants to be a garbo  :-))  Before that it was a palaeontologist and I suppose there'll be a few more changes over the years seeing as he is only 5 years old  ;D

The brown is the dirt & the green is the grass :)

The kids get on line & join each others worlds etc.

I wish he would prefer real lego, but no Minecraft is the way they go.

Cp wants to be a magician atm, he is not very good, but getting better, but of course its a dream, he is no Cris Angel or David Copperfield, but his shiws are fun :)

Fantastic Hally!  Lot of work goes into these creations, and I'm sure CP is absolutely thrilled!

Minecraft is so popular....actually DD received a foam mine craft sword as a present from a male friend for her 16th.....she's still puzzled as to what it's actually for  or what she should do with it  :P lol
.........EAT CAKE!

Judy DD wanted to be a garbage truck driver. She still collects garbage trucks.

When she was small my Dad used to take her out to watch the garbos ( they picked up a bin in those days) when he was in the city. She thought it was great. She became friendly with the rubbish men and they often used to bring something for her, like Fisher Price toys that just needed a good scrub up. She still admires the rubbish men but it isn't the same today. We don't really know them.
Her second choice was the goal umpire for AFL matches. Not sure about that one. ??? ???

Limited opportunity Cookie but pays much better when they do get a gig.  Isn't it lovely to see Chelsea umpiring matches, our only female as far as AFL top matches are concerned anyway.

Thanks for this cake recipe ES.

Used it to make 2 rectangular cakes for DS8' Minecraft cupcakes. Cut them into squares and sandwiched using ganache (made in TM). Trying to get even height blocks was challenging. Did the best I could :)

Covered blocks with ganache, followed by green grids made from fondant. That created the Minecraft grass blocks.

Made a stencil for creeper head from recycled plastic packaging. Alphabets from metal stencils. Number 9 was freehand.

Steve was the last Minecraft toy I could lay my hands on at Myer Carousel :D

:) HAPPY :)
