My son, Sam turned 5 and wanted to have a Super Mario birthday party. I searched to find ideas on making a Super Mario Cake. I baked a home-made pound cake in 1- 8inch round pan and 1- 6inch round pan. I covered the cakes with a light blue buttercream frosting. Then, I used fondant (doctored up with almond extract and powdered sugar to enhance the flavor) to cut out game board pieces.
I ordered a few small plastic Super Mario figurines (including Mario, the princess, Luigi and Bowser). I made the little brown monsters with fondant as well as the flowers and other pieces. The mushroom on top is a rice crispy treat covered in fondant. It was a big hit!
My kids and I were at this party and the cake was GREAT!! Kids and adults were amazed at how real the cake compared to the game.
where in world do you get fondant from
Fondant can be made or bought at your local grocery store in the baking isle. Usually where near the candles.
