To make all the checkerboard squares appear to be equal when you cut the cake (as oppose to having that big square in the middle), divide the length of the side of your finished cake by 7 and that becomes the width of your cutouts. For example, if your cake is 9.1 inches square (after all the trimming), then dividing 9.1 by 7 equals 1.3 inches. 1.3 inches, then, becomes the width of you cutouts. Otherwise, your cake demonstration was wonderful-I made a chocolate-mint version for my 2 year old granddaughter's birthday : )
It is a minecraft cake tho so not all the squares are identical. For any other checkerboard cake I'd agree with you that basic maths helps get perfect squares.
I just made this cake for my sons birthday, it was a hit. Everyone loved it. Thank you for the idea. I topped it with store bought MINECRAFT toys but looked great. It was also delicious.
Christy P You can do the same thing but with the colours inside match the colours of a rubik's cube (so you'd need to colour a vanilla cake batter with oven safe colouring), do the outside in black buttercream or chocolate ganache and then place squares of coloured cut out fondant on the outside. It'd be fairly easy really :3
My cousin was diagnosed with cancer a good few months ago.it was heart breaking to hear for me and her family. She loves ur videos to bits she always wants me to bake her something like your M&M cake. It was really sad tho cause her cemo is failing so we r just trying r best to make her happy and u r one of the people who does that so thx sooooo much it really means a lot to us to c a smile on her face and it would mean a lot if u saw this. Thx xxxxx
Hi there, im in the process of making this, your not wrong about the time frame for cooking the cakes, lol I think ive been going for 3 hrs. Almost time to cut them, im worried im going to stuff this up. This is a trial run for my sons bday this month "big minecraft fan" he even gave me his figurines to pop on top.
I know! The bake time was huge! I hope it's gone well for you - one suggestion I have is to use the densest cake you can. A mud cake is always the most forgiving for carved and sculpted cakes and would work really well here. Also, mud cakes last longer than other cakes (about 3-5days) and they also freeze beautifully so if you happened to make this a week or two before the party and freeze it, no one would ever know! Good luck :-)

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made one this weekend for my son's birthday and used your suggestion of cutting the middle square into quarters. I wish i could share a picture with you!
Oohhh, I love this cake. My nephew will go insane when I try this. Thank you for sharing, I do a choc and vanilla round checkerboard, but hav never thought, or seen, of doing a square one. Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your talent. X
Thanks so much!!!! I am having a Minecraft party for my (soon to be) 7 year old next weekend and wanted to surprise him and do this but didn't know how. I'm excited to do it now!!!
been looking all over for a tutorial for square checkerboard cake this is perfect because I am having a minecraft party for my son in a couple weeks.. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. My daughter's birthday is today and I'm giving her minecraft theme party this wk end. I will be making this one. Thanks so much again. You're a life saver
WOW! This cake is truly a geometric marvel, both outside and in. This design would be absolutely PERFECT to make a Borg cube cake...which I may look in to in the very near future.
I have been looking for a minecraft tutorial for a birthday cake for my nephew! . This is exactly what I was looking for I am a beginner and didn't fancy trying to work with 1000's of square fondant pieces, Amazing thanks for posting :)
Hey Kris Tina - Oh no! Are we at the finale already!!? What will i do when its over for another season! I have actually done some GOT Dragon eggs, and also some Dragon cupcakes - if you search Cupcake addiction game of thrones they should pop up :)
This is a great tutorial not only did i make my first ever checkerboard cake but i also made your wonderful Gnash recipe for the first time to. If i could upload a photo i would but as i said i just wanted to send through a very big thank-you thank-you thank-you my very happy little boy is now boasting all about his 'magic' cake :)
Can u make a video of s'mores with Australian products cause I live in NSW and most of the ingredients used in videos I can't find in Woolworths maybe it's because of the names but I would love to know how to make s'mores with Aussie products as they are a great treat for sleepovers
I've done a super mario version of this cake, but it's good to know that you can do it for minecraft as well. Will most likely make this version for a good friend of mine who's birthday is coming up real soon so thank you!
I just made this cake yesterday using this tutorial and although it was a fabulous hit and it turned out great, one important thing to note is it will not look checkered until you cut it slap down the middle of the cake otherwise it just looks layered. All that being said I was not disappointed and everyone at the party was amazed, but it did take me a minute to work out why in the world it looke layered instead of checkered, and then it hit me, cut it in half first, them serve it from the inside out to the edges.
Omg this is so cute. Hey my birthday is coming up in a couple more months and I has woundering how to make a pink and black zebra heart shaped cake would you be able to make a video of it and show me how to make one please.
Hello I'm a huge fan I like all of your videos and my sisters birthday is this month I just want her to be happy she loves bubble guppies she loves them can u do something like cake or cupcakes or even a sweet thing please I just want her to be happy
Alot of work, but it's worth it. It came out beautifully, I'm afraid to try it, but I have time for my son's b'day........thx for sharing. Keep your tutorials coming. ;)
Pro tip: if you want to save some of your green food colour, make a double batch of the vanilla cake batter, dye it all a light green, scoop half out and bake, then add the same amount to the rest to make a darker colour. You save half a bottle of food colour!
I'm planning a Sheriff Callie birthday party for my little girl & I can't find anything related to her for cakes, cupcakes, or anything. Would you be able to come up with something? It would be a lifesaver! :)
Your timing is perfect, I have been making a minecraft cake for my eldests birthday tomorrow! I wanted to ask if you tint your own fondant or do you use ready tinted? if you tint it yourself, could you do a tutorial on how to do this please.
I have never seen anyone tinted the fondant before because they had tinted fondant sold while you just bought them and roll it out. I don't think tinting fondant needs any tutorial because it's just simple like how you tint the cake with food colouring.
I am just so amazed that you made this cake. I watch all your videos and my absolute favorite one is the safari cupcakes or the rainbow polka dot cake. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I hope tou keep doing what your doing. :)
