Gamers all over the world will likely recognize the cake from Minecraft, and while they're certainly not the first to do it, one fan of the game has brought the game's cake to life by baking it in the real world. Minecraft's cake is just one example of the dozens upon dozens of food options available to survival mode players, though it stands out as a food item that can be placed as a block in the world - making it just as useful a decorative item to spruce up a home as it is a method of keeping the hunger bar full.
Minecraft's cake effortlessly stands out as one of the most iconic cakes within the entire realm of gaming, sitting right at the top alongside the infamous Black Forest cake from the original Portal. While Minecraft's cuboid cake isn't all that complex in terms of decoration or appearance, it has nonetheless become one of the many iconic objects that have arisen from the sandbox game. Minecraft's status as the most highly-grossing video game of all time, paired with its massive appeal to fans of all ages around the world, it's perhaps not too surprising that many of its items, mobs, and blocks have become recognizable everywhere to gamers and non-gamers alike.
Minecraft Fan Creates Incredible Folder Icons Based on the Game
A talented Minecraft fan makes a bunch of creative folder icons for their PC File Explorer, each based on different mobs and items from the game.
Taking inspiration directly from the cake texture from the base game, one fan of the game set about recreating the food item as accurately as possible in the real world. While other Minecraft fans have baked similar goods in the past, the final result was shown off in a post shared online by the user ignShuckle, and boasts an amazing level of detail. Of course, the cake itself is square, complete with the thick white icing while also including the red toppings, which are presumably supposed to be strawberries in-game. While there remains much debate among fans, it's still not entirely clear what flavor the cake is supposed to be - although the consensus points to it being a simple vanilla sponge cake.
How the Creativity of Minecraft Players Extends Beyond the Game
With Minecraft ultimately being a limitless sandbox game focusing on letting players unleash creativity and expression, it's not much of a surprise that it harbors an incredibly artistic and creatively-talented fan base. Minecraft fans have shown off plenty of their own awesome projects over the years, with community-made creative projects taking the form of anything from custom Halloween costumes to potential mob designs, and even entire mods adding new content to the game.
It's not uncommon for creative gaming enthusiasts to recreate their favorite virtual food items in the real world, and this certainly doesn't apply exclusively to Minecraft's food. That said, Minecraft does include a long list of food items which only seems to grow with each update, and many players have attempted to cook many of them up in the real world.
