Surprise the Minecraft fan in your life with this simple and fun Minecraft Sword Pull-Apart Cupcake Cake!
Earlier this week, I shared with you the princess pull-apart cupcake cake I made for Emily’s 6th birthday. Today, I’ve got her twin brother’s Minecraft Sword pull-apart cupcake cake for you!
Say hello and happy birthday to Jakob! His mom Amy hosted a big party with classmates at a local jump house and it was a blast!!
Jakob’s cupcake cake was a little more labor intensive than Emily’s princess one. The same amount of planning went into putting his cake together, it just took a bit more time.
The bulk of the work went into piping the frosting to look like pixels, just like in Minecraft!
Minecraft Sword Pull-Apart Cupcake Cake
Supplies
- 35 cupcakes – 9 baked in solid gold liners and 26 baked in solid black liners from Sweets & Treats Boutique
- Vanilla Buttercream (see recipe below)
- Wilton 610-700 Icing Gel, 1-Ounce, Sky Blue
- Wilton Cake Decorating Tip Pkg Open Star #21
or any medium open star tip
- Wilton 2104-1358 Disposable 12-inch Decorating Bags, 24 Pack
- Foam core board 22 x 28in (like this one Pacon® Foam Board, 22″ X 28″)
- Wrapping paper (any color to match the cupcakes & theme of the party)
- Scissors & tape
Assembly
- Cover the foam board with the wrapping paper making a smooth, clean surface to place the cupcakes on.
- Make the buttercream frosting and tint it to the color you want. (See recipe below)
- Fit medium star piping tip onto the piping bag and fill with light blue buttercream.
- Start with the light blue frosting and pipe 5 small stars across a cupcake (in a black liner) down the center of the cupcake. Repeat filling the top of the cupcake with stars until you have 25 stars shaped in a square. You want to make SIX 6 light blue cupcakes in black liners.
- Repeat this piping process with the dark blue frosting and make TWELVE 12 dark blue cupcakes in black liners.
- Finally, with the dark brown frosting, pipe 5×5 rows of stars onto cupcakes in the gold liners. You’ll have a total of NINE 9 brown cupcakes in gold liners.
- Using the photos as a guide, line up the cupcakes on your prepared foam board. If you’re traveling, apply a small dollop of frosting to the bottom of each cupcake to attach it to the board. This will act like glue and prevent the cupcakes from sliding.
- Be sure to be mindful of direction you place each cupcake, you want them to all be facing the same direction and uniform.

This look so cute! AMAZING. I like it. Can’t wait try it! Thanks for sharing!
OMIGOD this looks amazing! Wow, you are super talented, I suck at anything like this – I’m still going to give it a go though, but I doubt it will be half as cool haha! H x
So lovely and very easy to make! Thank you for sharing!
Great recipe – a hit every time. Took on the tips to add the egg white and yolk separately, also to turn midway through cooking…which made the cupcakes way fluffier!
