Super Mario Brothers Birthday Cake

A few months ago I had asked my daughter what kind of birthday party she wanted. I had assumed that she wanted another Princess party, boy was I wrong. My very awesome daughter informed me that she wanted a Super Mario Brother's party and cake.

So for the next few weeks I looked online, made a few calls and visited a few bakeries. There is a lot of talent out there, A LOT but my only problem was the price. You see this was for a soon to be 6 year old you would look at the cake and "ohh and ahh" at it but then in the end would just go out side and play. The moonwalk took prestige over everything you see.

So after having a mini heart attack and the attacks of the sweats under my arms I decided that this inexperience baker with only 2 years under her apron would attempt to make a Mario cake.

And so you have it, the results of two very long days of baking, making and shaping...


So as you can see the bottom of the cake starts off as the water world and it works it way all the way up to the castle in the sky.




On the side of the cake I made thee number 6 in gold coins.




I added blocks, more gold coins and a pipe on the other side of the cake.




And as you can see here in the front of the cake I have a vine coming out of a block going all the way up to the castle. I also added a green turtle shell.




I'm going to have to say that making Bob-omb was my favorite to make only because he was the easiest to do though making the pipe trap wasn't as hard as I first thought.




Now looking at this cake I'm sure you've notice a few missing characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad. Well let me tell you that trying to make characters out of fondants is a lot harder than it looks. Maybe next time I'll try making cupcakes with the characters.




But overall the cake was a hit and my kid loved it to no end.
