The host, Alvin, attempts to recreate the Minecraft cake by following the game's recipe. However, the cake turns out poorly due to the lack of leavening agents, resembling a dense pancake. Undeterred, Alvin decides to make a traditional cake using a different recipe.
He creates a square-shaped cake with a white chocolate French buttercream frosting and tops it with sweet berry squares, made from raspberries, sugar, and gelatin. After decorating the cake, Alvin takes a slice and finds it tastes good, with the sweet berry topping complementing the cake and frosting.
Throughout the episode, Alvin also promotes Squarespace, his sponsor, and encourages viewers to try their platform for building online presence.
