Coolest Super Mario Cake 12

Super Mario Cake
This Super Mario cake was made using 1 package of yellow cake mix, according to the directions. For baking, I used 2 round pans (8 in.) and a dozen cupcakes. The round pans were less than 1/2 full, as my kids like cake that's heavy on the frosting anyway!
The face is one of the rounds, and the hat is made by cutting a moon shape from the other round. The ears, chin and nose were made by carving up a few of the cupcakes to size.
I mixed colors to get the skin tone. The brown is homemade chocolate frosting. The red, black and blue are Wilton squeeze tubes from the grocery store (the kind you can buy tips for and screw 'em right on-super handy!)
I used the star tip on the hat and the round tip for fill in and outlining. If I had it to do over, I would have left the outlining off of the eyes. The CG Mario in all the new games has more of a 3D look without outlining, so that would have portrayed him more accurately.
We had an excited bunch when this guy was unveiled! It took me about an hour to decorate.
