This Mario Bros cake was totally inspired by cakeladydi's Mario cake. Thank you!! This was two 10" round layers, the stem was a 4" layer, and the mushroom cap was half of the sports ball pan. Marble cake. Mostly buttercream iced/decorated, some fondant accents. Mario and Luigi are gumpaste figures. This was a fun one to make!
You did such a good job on this. It feels pretty good to be an inspiration to someone. I wish that is all it would take for me to make gumpaste figures like that. Those are awesome.
I love this cake! I am thinking about attempting this for someone next weekend... Were there any support issues with the mushroom or any hints you could give me? Thanks for your help! Excellent work!
I am to do a cake like this very soon. I am assuming you had a dowel through the mushroom, but did you travel with it assembled or did you add the mushroom once you got to the party? I am nervous about the ride!
