In the game, players can take time out from building their own world to make cakes - with it unlocking ‘The Lie’ achievement - a reference to a longstanding meme. However, these cakes, commissioned by Showcase Cinemas and made by top baking artist Michelle Wibowo, are no lie, despite their stunning realism.

Cake artist Michelle Wibowo with her creations | Cover Media Michelle says: “The imagination that goes into the world of Minecraft is inspiring and I had so much fun creating these sculptures. “I was instantly inspired by the block, pixelated world it brings to life. Everything from the characters to the scenery has this charming, geometric look.
I wanted to not only support the release of the film but also pay homage to the iconic cinema snacks that everyone knows (and loves!).” The film opens on Friday at Showcase Cinemas nationwide, and you can see these amazing cakes on display at Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater.

” Each cake took a staggering 15 hours to create, and having made five in total, Michelle spent 75 hours building these showstopping creations - taking the time and care many Minecraft players do to build themselves their own landscapes. Michelle’s creations not only look good but are 100% edible and delicious.

It follows a group of unlikely heroes who find themselves transported into the Overworld, where they must navigate the pixelated landscapes and must defend it from menacing creatures.
