Awesome Danganronpa Gamer Cake

This gamer cake is the one that started my new hobby of cake decorating. It is the cake that kept me awake for 2 weeks until I was happy with the design. It was inspired by the game/anime Danganronpa. In the game, the bear of despair (Monokuma) kills the bunny of hope (Monomi) with Tetris blocks.

My niece just loves that game so I made it for her in cake for her 17th birthday. I will never forget the stars in her eyes when I unveiled it… the same stars as when she was 5 and made me feel like I was the best thing since slice bread. And the best part… it wasn’t that complicated to make.

Have a great day. :)

Steps for Making the Gamer Cake

Candy Melt Monomi (Bunny) Ears:

I used Wilton candy melts and a extra large coffee cup from Tim Hortons.
Cut the cup in 2 and poured melted candy into it and added 2 bamboo skewers per ears. Voila!

Candy Melt Monikuma (Bear) Faces:

Printed an image of Monokuma and traced it on parchment paper.
Then piped the design with candy melts.

Tetris Cake:

Baked a 9 x15 rectangular cake.
Covered it with black fondant.
Cut small squares of colored fondant to make the Tetris blocks.
Placed the pieces on the top of the cake and when happy with the design, glued them on with a little bit of water.

Monomi (Bunny) Head:

I used the Wilton 3D ball pan and placed it on the Tetris board (it’s really heavy once you add the ears, so make sure to use supports).
I covered the head with buttercream and a star tip, and used a round #4 for the face details.
I added the ears and a bow made of florist paste.

Giant Tetris Pieces:

Make cubes of rice treats and cover them with fondant.
Use bamboo skewers to form the pieces.

Hope you enjoy!
