Minecraft cake for a seven year old

Today's cake may look simple in design but there was quite a bit of work involved in this Minecraft cake. This cube cake was created with a dense chocolate cake and a Nutella buttercream filling. To ensure I was able to create solid and straight corners, I coated the cake with ganache. This is one rich cake.
I covered the cake with 1,215 fondant pieces to create the pixelated effect. Yup, simple but still quite a bit of work.

A pretty cake in brush embroidery

Today's cake was for my daughter who requested chocolate and vanilla cake with a raspberry cream filling and ganache. You bet.

The decoration was up to me so I made it so I could try out a couple different techniques. Inside was a checkerboard pattern that looks much more complicated to complete than it is and on the outside I did some brush embroidery which was so much fun to do. One pretty cake that was really fun to make. : )
