How to make a cake in Minecraft
Want to know how to make a Minecraft cake? Of course, you do! A Minecraft cake is a great food source when you’re exploring the deserts, badlands, and jungles of your world, but it has a few other unique uses too. Speaking of jungles, that’s the Minecraft biome adorable pandas call home. Another fun fact about them is that cake is one of their favourite foods and, therefore, an essential component of befriending them.
Since the Caves and Cliffs 1.17 update, you can even put a candle on top of a Minecraft cake, making the perfect birthday gift for your friends while playing one of the best PC games in multiplayer – or even just for your pet Minecraft horse or dog in your single-player world. As for its main use as a food source, a cake works in its distinctive way. Instead of simply munching on it – as a panda does – you can place it down, taking a slice at a time. This means you can make it last and save inventory space. Here’s what you need to know about the Minecraft cake recipe and the best way to celebrate birthdays in the sandbox game.

MAKE IT COUNT: A birthday cake in the shape of a number has wow factor and can be adapted to suit almost anyone.
You will need a cake board to serve your creation — The Range has different sizes starting from £1.49.
Then use Swiss rolls to mould the shape of the number needed.
Aldi sells raspberry jam or chocolate rolls for £1.05 each.
The number eight can be a little tricky — break up the roll where needed and use a knife to curve out the edges.
Slather thick buttercream icing over your Swiss roll. It’s easy enough to make frosting by beating together icing sugar and butter at a ratio of two to one. Or a tub of Sainsbury’s ready-made vanilla icing is £1.60.
Finish by decorating the numbers. For kids’ cakes, chocolate buttons and hundreds and thousands work, or Hobbycraft sells edible glitter at £2.50 a pot.
PIMP YOUR CAKE: Decorating your own cake is an easy way to impress for less.
Find a large plain cake to suit your taste and party size.
Sainsbury’s Seriously Chocolate Cake, £12.50, serves 20. Or for a bigger crowd Asda’s celebration fruit cake, £19, serves 34.
You can create a personalised edible cake topper with a photo and text of your choice from around £5 on both Etsy and Amazon.
Or spell out your own personal message with edible letters. Try Dr Oetker white chocolate letters and numbers, £2.85, from Sainsbury’s.
Large personalised pop-out cake toppers look glamourous and cost around £2.50 from eBay.
Or for a child’s cake, add little toy figures suited to your theme.
For example, small dinosaurs look great on top of a cake.

My bridezilla friend said I ‘ruined’ her wedding by being a woman in a suit – her text after was the icing on the cake
A REDDIT user has shared that her friend was completely opposed to her wearing a suit to her wedding.
After the wedding, she apparently received a text that was even more unbelievable.
A woman has shared the strict rules her friend put in place for her wedding[/caption]
Posting to the bridezillas forum on Reddit, a woman shared that her best friend of many many years had got engaged, and immediately asked her to be a bridesmaid.
The woman said she was “thrilled for about 0.2 seconds” until her friend said “Ha! Now I get to make you dress girly!”
Her friend had a list of requirements for the bridesmaids which included a dress and heels.
She listed off the rest of the requirements: “I had to grow my hair to at least bob length. I had to dye my hair. I had to get a tan (fake or sunbed) and I definitely had to use body make up to cover all my tattoos.”

Next, she shared something that to her was a “gut-wrencher.”
“Anyone who knows me knows I am an absolute tomboy who feels deeply uncomfortable wearing dresses etc. But hey it’s the bride’s big day, right? I offered to do all except grow my hair,” she said.
“Not. Good. Enough. Apparently, I would RUIN HER PHOTOS with my crap short hair.”
The woman shared that arguments ensued as a result. There were multiple texts and group chats that were telling her she was being stubborn, and it was “for one day” and she should “suck it up.”
Around the time of all the drama, her dad was unfortunately diagnosed with a terminal illness. “We mutually agreed my dad was my priority and I stepped down from bridesmaid to guest,” she said.
Her friend, the bride, then asked her what she and her girlfriend would be wearing to the wedding, and she replied that they had tailor-made suits from a wedding last year and they would be “perfect.”
Her friend told her that she didn’t want everyone staring at the “two lesbians in suits” and that everyone would be talking about them and apparently taking attention away from her.
“I was gobsmacked. [Girlfriend] refused to even go. I told [the] bride unless she was telling all the guests what to wear she could f**k right off.
“I went to the wedding (didn’t want to be the asshole who didn’t show up tbh). It went swimmingly. An absolutely grand affair with no expense spared,” she said.
“I left after the first dance to get home to my kid (had been there for 8 hours at this point!) and was told the next day that at the end of the party the bride was sobbing that I left early and ruined her day.
“She also texted me to tell me the money I had gifted her was nowhere near the cost of hosting me.
“So we don’t talk anymore,” she concluded.
