So it has been awhile since I have done a pretty fancy cake, but my coworker Alan asked me if I thought I would be able to pull off a Mario cake for his son. He showed me a picture of what they wanted and it was in buttercream so I showed him a couple other ides of fondant and what that would look like. Him and his wife decided that they liked it better, which is great for me, because although it is a little more pricey it is a lot easier for me to hide my mistakes in! He found all of the Mario pieces in a chess set on Ebay and ordered that, and then they found the large Mario in a store in Salt Lake. He was BIG, and it took me forever to think of a way to get him to stay on top but I think that the cloud was one of my favorite parts!
It really turned out well I thought. I loved making the little eating plant guy in the picture above here, sorry that I don't know their names. I made him completely by hand it was really cool to see him turn out so well.
The cake we chose was a yellow and chocolate marble with chocolate buttercream icing underneath the fondant. It looked yummy, and I hope it was... I haven't heard the verdict yet.
Mike was not to thrilled because he was my clean up crew. I had to go to work right as I was finishing the cake so he had to clean it all up... and when I cook or bake or anything I make a mess... but when I make a cake as extravagant as this its a REALLY big mess.
So hopefully it was to their satisfaction and I really hope Kylan liked it! He wanted a Mario cake so bad and had no idea that he was actually getting one!
Happy Birthday Kylan!

That turned out AWESOME! I think it's one of your best cakes yet! Did Mike love it? I hope the little boy you made it for LOVED it! And it sounds like it tasted SO good too!
Yeah Mike liked it but he was jealous because he brought up the fact that I have never made him a special cake haha.
