Each heart represents a time I’ve almost died and the half fill on the third is just to show that I still have life left to live here. I’m really happy with it. I got the crest because it’s the crest of the race that guard one of the most sacred artifacts, artifacts of courage, wisdom and power. Three things I one day hope to have.
Request: Minecraft – Cake
I purposefully don’t play Minecraft; though enough of my friends have harassed me to play it and I’ve heard nothing bur praises. I’ve spoken before of my horribly addictive personality and I know that if I got involved in Minecraft I would never again see the light of day and they’d find my shrivelled, malnourished corpse collapsed over my laptop. It would be a good way to go, but just not yet. Either way Minecraft Cake has been on my list for a while now and enough of you have been asking for it so here you go!
Also from next week, due to popular demand, I will provide ingredients in American-friendly terms. Who knew I’d ever get involved in politics?
What you will need: Large mixing bowl, 20x20 square cake tin, small bowl, small pot, sieve, whisk, rolling pin, spatula, greaseproof/baking paper.
For the Cake:
200g Plain Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
200g Golden Caster Sugar
200g Butter (Room Temperature)
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3 Medium Eggs (Room Temperature)
3 Tablespoons Milk
For the Frosting:
100g Dark Chocolate
25g Butter
150ml Single Cream
100g - 200g Icing Sugar
To Finish:
White Ready-to-roll Icing
Red Ready-to-roll Icing
Preparing the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease and line a 20x20cm square cake tin.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
Beat the eggs and add them slowly to the butter and sugar along with the vanilla extract.
Sieve in the flour and baking powder then combine it gently into the mixture. Pour into the prepared cake tin and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Once golden brown and springy, allow to cool and store in the fridge while you prepare the frosting.
Making the Frosting:
- In a bain-marie, melt the chocolate, butter and cream together until smooth.
- Allow to cool until the mixture thickens slightly, then slowly whisk in the icing sugar until the chocolate is light and fluffy. Allow to cool further before spreading onto the cake.
Making the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled, level it carefully then cut it into 4 (you can make 2 minecraft cakes from this recipe). You may want to use a cookie cutter or make a template so each piece is of equal size.
Take a portion as your base and add a little frosting to the top of it and layer another piece of cake for the top – set aside.
On a clean work surface, sprinkle some icing sugar and roll out the white icing to about 1 cm thick and cut a piece large enough to comfortably cover the cake.
Spread some frosting on top of the cake and then cover with the white icing. Trim the icing, then cut in the pattern. You may want to make a template and use scissors/scalpel.
Roll out the red icing to about 1cm thick like before and cut out 4 large and 6 small squares, arrange the red squares on top of the cake to match the Minecraft Cake.
Cut appropriately to serve. If you leave the cake you will have to return to the cake to continue eating it.
I found this really stressful! I’ve made it at least three times now because this is a rather important entry! The cake its self is beautiful, just a simple sponge recipe, the tricky part is getting the shapes and icing correct. I didn’t think I would have to use my technical graphics skills to work out cake patterns – maybe I would have enjoyed it more at school if that had been its purpose from the start. All I can say is cardboard templates really saved the day here. You can of course make this cake massive if you have the right sized tins, I did not so I had to improvise and make smaller, personal cakes - that way I didn’t have to share. I am, however, officially sick of eating cake.

Nine of the coolest hats in videogame history. Buy this shirt and you’ll keep your body warm and your virginity intact all at the same time!
Tara Lynn is on the cover of French Elle giving CURVES! She’s working it out this month is a full spread and I’m loving it. I can only hope that we can see some more stuff like this over here in America cause she’s working the hell out of that bathing suit in a way these twiggy models can’t. Just sayin’ …
P.S. That outfit in the picture with the bike? #pleaseandthankyou
@InsomniacBelle
*double take* Is this a girl in a magazine who looks like she’s eaten something other than saltines and bitch pills in the last ten years? I didn’t think this was allowed. I hope we see more of it.
Gah! She’s gorgeous! She looks like she belongs in a painting.
Or a fashion mag. ;-)
Lovely lady.
Beauty.
So… I fucking love this girl.
She’s so hot. I can’t even.Unfortunately, this will never happen in America. Then again, if it did, the media would instantly do a barrage of “is being overweight healthy? Being overweight is not healthy!” stories. Of course Tara Lynn isn’t overweight or even fat. She’s curvy and once upon a time not long ago, that was normal. Nobody raised an eyebrow or frowned when a women with meat on her bones strutted down the street wearing a dress or a short skirt. How about we bring that back, huh?
There’s such a difference between being overweight (unhealthy) and proud of your body. I think there is sometimes just as much (or more) opinions and “evidence” coming from supposed health experts that make women (and men) afraid of having a single ounce of body fat. I’m not saying you can never have too much fat. I’m just saying that a person who is proud of their body and knows they’re beautiful, whatever their shape, will always be 10 times more beautiful than someone who looks like a coat hanger and is insecure!
YOU GO GURL
SHE”S SO PRETTY
Because Tara got so much love this week, I’m reblogging her again.
