step by step

Bake the chocolate cakes
- Divide the chocolate cake batter between the square cake pans.
- Bake until a skewer comes out clean, then let cool completely.
- Cut each cooled cake in half horizontally to make 6 thin layers.
Step 1
Fill and crumb coat
- Stack the cake layers, spreading chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream between each layer.
- Cover the outside with a thin crumb coat of frosting.
Step 2
Chill the cake
- Place the crumb coated cake in the freezer so the frosting chills and sets up.
Step 3
Cover with ganache
- Cover the entire set cake in a thick layer of chocolate ganache.
- Return the cake to the freezer so the ganache sets.
Step 4
Carve and frost the top
- Cut out a portion of the cold ganache to create some dimension.
- Frost the top with the green colored buttercream.
Step 5
Pipe the grass
- Using piping tip #233, pipe the green buttercream to create the grass look.
Step 6
Add fondant squares and finish
- Cut squares out of rolled fondant and place them around the cake.
- Add the Minecraft characters on top and finish with the final touches.
