When you do the blocks it will be much easier if you keep the cake chilled for every step... From cutting to icing the cakes. I did several thin layers of buttercream and stuck the cake in the freezer between each layer. It really helped me keep the edges somewhat sharp. I have a picture in my gallery of blocks I did for a cake.
Good luck!!
WOW Tami - your cakes are BEAUTIFUL!!! I love all your tiered cakes!! Thank you for responding...I think that I will take your advice and try to keep the cake cool when I am working on it and ice the cake in layers....your block cake is amazing!! I'm a newbie - I hope one day I can make cakes like you!! 
I don't have the cake I was talking about posted in my gallery...Sorry!! 
I just did a baby block cake last weekend but forgot to get a picture....Ahhhhh.The lady showed up at my door at 10:30am and when I asked her name and what cake she was picking up (I had 6 go out that day) she said the baby block cake ...and I nearly died!! First I had it written down as due for Sunday so I was lucky that I was 90% done.I put on the few extra decorations and out it went!!! It was one of my best but no picture
Tami is right though..it is much easier to cut and decorate when it is cold.
Oh Kiddie - that is so sad not to have had a picture!! When I was taking my class....my instructor told us to always take a picture so I think that it was drilled into my head!! I have a picture of my 1st cake ever...I think I've come a long way!! 
I baked the cake last weekend b/c we got a TON of snow here so I baked it for something to do so tonight I will just have to decorate it. It is frozen so I should be okay. I just hope that it is easy to cut!!
All of the baby block cakes that I have done are 6" square 2-layer cakes. I got the idea from a Wilton Yearbook, 2000 I think. Doing it this way eliminates the need for cutting and chilling, etc. Of course, if you do several blocks, it's a lot of cake. I tell my customers that each block serves 8-10 and many have ordered up to 6 blocks.
TamiAZ,
That is gorgeous; I enjoy looking at your cakes, they are amazing.
