If you happen to be throwing a Minecraft party with your friends soon, here are some recipes you should check out:
8-Bit Cake
What’s a party without cake? At least for birthdays that is. If there’s anything that Minecraft is known for the most, it is its signature pixelated graphics. It looks like how 8-bit games would look like, but the game is made for modern machines, which means that the style is intentional.
There is an actual cake in the game itself and since it looks 8-bit, it’s easy to replicate. If you have beginner baking skills, you can use a boxed cake mix to make the base. What’s important is to make the icing layer with white and red fondant so that it looks like the Minecraft game. Here is an easy video tutorial you can follow.
Pepperoni Creeper Pizza
Pizza is one of the easiest party foods to make or have. Since Minecraft is made of cubes, the best thing to do is to make your pizzas in a similar shape. If you’re making the dough by hand, you can choose to make it in any size you want.
It’s recommended to use frozen pizza for this recipe because it’s convenient and you can buy as much as you need. To make the dough more uniform, you can make a template and cut the pizza circles accordingly. You are free to add more cheese if you want to.
To make the creeper design more obvious, cut the pepperoni into squares. You can layout the pepperoni squares in the shape of the face of the green monsters. If you want the pizza to look green, you can dye the cheese and substitute the pepperoni for something darker.
Minecraft Block Cake Pops
Cake pops are easy to make and if done right, they’re malleable enough to be turned into cubes. It’s an easy dessert treat to make and decorate. Plus, they’re cheap to make as well.
For this recipe, you can bake cakes made from the cake mix of your choice. The frosting is important and depending on what cake flavor you have; you need to make sure that both taste good together. There are many kinds of blocks in Minecraft so you can either make just one kind or vary them.
Golden Caramel Apples
The enchanted golden apples in the game are essential for the survival of your character, especially when in a pinch and for saving zombie villagers. They’re quite rare in the wild, but you can craft them in Minecraft so why not make one or a dozen in real life? Caramel apples are already a thing in real life, so it’s easy enough to make.
For the crucial part, which is the golden hue, you’ll need food coloring to achieve the color. Here is a detailed video tutorial to help you out.
Loot Boxes
In the spirit of being in-theme, it makes sense to send off your guests with loot boxes. You can make your own and curate candies and treats according to your budget. If you want to try something new like confectionery you don’t locally have, give foreign candies from Asia or any country you like. Here is a visual guide to help you out.
