Craft Menu: «Cube Table»

In my initial classes, I learned that every dish in Minecraft has a real-life culinary recipe. Now, I know how to bake cookies, cakes, pumpkin pie, and mushroom soup; I can distinguish between types of dough and food preparation methods. I understand how to adapt in-game recipes for a real kitchen, correctly select ingredients, and plate dishes in a «blocky world» style. This knowledge helps me create dishes that are both delicious and beautiful, looking exactly like they do in the game.

Before starting, I gathered all the necessary kitchen utensils: bowls for kneading dough, a whisk and mixer for whipping, a baking sheet and a square pan for baking, a pot and a frying pan for soup, a blender for pureeing, a knife, and a cutting board for slicing. I checked that the stove and oven were working, and that there was space on the counter for rolling out dough. It was important to have everything prepared in advance so I wouldn’t have to search for anything or get distracted while cooking.

I started with cookies. I mixed shortbread dough with cocoa, rolled it out into a sheet, cut it into 4×6 cm rectangles, and used a fork to press a dotted pattern—this made the texture look pixelated. I baked them in the oven at 180°C for 12 minutes. Once the cookies cooled, I stacked them on a square plate. They turned out crispy and crumbly!

Then I moved on to the cake. I whipped the eggs with sugar until they formed a fluffy foam, carefully folding in the flour and melted butter. I baked the sponge in a 18×18 cm square pan at 170°C for 30 minutes. Once it cooled, I cut it into 9 even squares—just like in the game! I soaked the layers in condensed milk with cream, covered the top with white icing, and scattered cherries haphazardly. It looks like a real Minecraft cake!

I baked the pumpkin in the oven until it was soft, then pureed it. I mixed it with eggs, sugar, flour, and cinnamon, poured it into a square pan, and baked it at 170°C for 40 minutes. Once the cake cooled, I cut it into even 5×5 cm cubes—perfect blocks! I dusted it with powdered sugar through a sieve, and the cake shimmered like in a snowy biome.

For the mushroom soup, I sautéed the onions and mushrooms in butter, added potatoes, and poured in broth. I simmered it for 20 minutes, then pureed everything with a blender until it reached a smooth consistency. I poured in the cream, gently warmed it over low heat, and served it in an earthenware bowl. On top, I placed square croutons made from white bread—it looked just like in the game!

I prepared all four dishes! Now all that’s left is to take a group photo of the «Cubic Table» and finalize the menu. I am satisfied with the result: the dishes were not only delicious but also looked like real Minecraft blocks. It was interesting and fun!
