Mario Time!

Its a me, Mario!

For this semesters bake sale we went with a Super Mario theme. The decision had nothing to do with me getting the new mario game for christmas and spending a absurd amount of time playing it!

The Mario cake was actually based off of the Mario Kart Games. The car was made out of two sheet cakes carved to look like a car...

It was then completely covered in buttercream icing and then in red fondant.

here is the covered car with no decorations on it yet. I was really pleased with the car outcome. Mario was a different story. He was baked in a teddy bear cake pan and then carved to look like Mario. He was also covered in buttercream and then in Mario skin coloured fondant. (Warning... the next photo is naked mario... if you dont want to see naked mario then flick past it really fast!)

wait... naked Mario kinda looks like another character.... I just cant place him.... the next step is to add Mario's  iconic red shirt...

wait... with the shirt and the eyes he looks an awful lot like Ziggy! Next bake sale maybe....

the next step for both mario and the car are the decorations...

hehe I never knew that Mario was bald! He's kinda cute! All he needs now is a hat...

Much better! He is pretty cute this Mario... now all he needs is a sweet set of wheels....

Here is his car from the back... and now all Mario needs to do is hop on!

Perfect! He is all set for the bake sale! Heres a few more shots of Mario at the bake sale. 

I love the overalls!

I was really pleased with the overall mario result.

Next week Super Mario Cupcakes!
