So, my kids gave me a crash course…..somethin’ about mining blocks, blowing things up, growing stuff, collecting items, a guy named Steve and Creepers.At first, I thought the game was called Mindcraft. Ya know, like using your “Mind” to build things. I’m still not quite sure if Creepers are good or bad but I managed to learn enough between my kids and Google to throw a lil’ 9th Birthday Party,Minecraft Style for my son.
Minecraft Party Banner
I made a Creeper birthday banner by using a pennant flag cut file on my Silhouette and downloaded the Minecraft Font to cut out my out my son’s name.
I then ran the letters through a burlap embossing folder to give them the texture look that they have in the game. Cool, huh?
Creeper Cupcakes
- Bake a chocolate cake in 11 x 13 inch pan
- Freeze cake {Definitely freeze…I learned this the hard way, you probably already know this..Ack!}
- Cut cake into squares
- Frost the sides of cake with chocolate frosting
- Dust sides with crushed chocolate graham crackers
- Make green frosting, using a star tip pipe frosting on top of cake to look like grass.
Minecraft Party Table
Creeper Balloons
To make the Creeper balloons, I welded a square and two rectangles together using my Silhouette and adhered the Creepers onto the balloon using Craft Glue Dots®.
Minecraft Party Favors
- TNT- Red Licorice
- Fish- Gummy Fish
- Gold- Rolo’s
- Watermelon- Sour watermelon pieces
- Bricks- Starbursts.

July 21, 2013 at 5:53 amI totally love this! My son (also a Jonas–but spelled Johnas) is having his birthday party next weekend. I could not find a bakery or party store with any Minecraft designs or decor. I was feeling so discouraged until I saw your site. Your son’s party cake and decor look AMAZING. Great Job Mom! (oh, and I love the cost efficient part too 🙂
Thank you for sharing!!
