Last week, I mentioned I needed to make a Minecraft cake for my son’s birthday, and after searching Pinterest for ideas, I took the easy route.    I ordered an edible picture online, and it was such a super fast way to decorate a cake, I admit, I will probably be doing it again in the future!

He loved it, and so it was a “win, win”!
