Coolest Mario Birthday Cake

I made this Mario birthday cake for my grandson’s 3rd birthday, he really loves Mario. I started by baking two round cakes and a cupcake (I filled the cupcake extra full to be sure to get a big round top on it).

After the cakes were baked and cooled I used a large knife to level off the tops of the cakes and saved the pieces I cut off and used them to make Mario’s ears. I cut one cake in half to make the hat and brim and cut off the top of the other cake to fit the hat onto the top. The cupcake top was used to make the nose. I made the mustache and eyes by putting a small amount of cooking spray on a paper towel and rubbing it over a piece of wax paper and then making the mustache and eyes on the wax paper and freezing them.

After I frosted the cake I removed the frozen eyes and mustache and placed them on the cake. The mustache did break when I was removing it from the wax paper and I pieced it together on the cake and when it thawed blended it back together.
