MORE Mario

Mario Cupcakes! Special guests, Yoshi, and Bowser!

Mario.

Another Mario on a smaller cake.

More Mario!

This was a cake that just needed to be "something Mario" so I looked at a picture of the new game and made the cake like one of the towers I saw (I know nothing about the game though!) and put a Mario face, I was cutting the Mario while the cake was in the fridge, and when I brought it in I realized I made the face smaller than I meant to but... it still worked alright. (Can you tell I have been loving the star burst thingies?)
Happy Birthday Tyler!

More MARIO along with Bowser JR.

Another Mario Kart fan and this time his favorite character is Bowser Jr. I did two little cake platforms and then "Stars" "Bob-ombs" and Mushrooms to top the cupcakes. These cupcakes had a peanut butter filling for extra....bobomb! Happy Birthday TJ! I wish I could have been there when he realized he could EAT Bowser!

His shell before I put it on.

Mario Cart!

This was one fun cake!! My friends son Cal is obsessed with the Wii and loves Mario Cart- so she wanted a "Mushroom Gorge" cake. (that is one of the levels on the game)
So I made a three layer rectangle cake out of chocolate buttercream and a yellow cake that leaned towards pound cake but was not quite as dense. A little cream cheese in the batter gave it a nice texture and density.

When it came to making the figures.... I felt like a kid again! This is why I played play-dough all those years- to get the practice for stuff like this :)

King Boo is a character on the game along with Mario and I just love him- all teeth and big pink tongue.... hilarious.

So here are some "Making of" pictures. Can I just say my kids think I am AWESOME when I make stuff like this!
