Blast from the Past: Mario Kart Cake

This is my nephew's cake from last year:


He LOVES Mario Kart.  Everything on the cake is handmade and edible.  This cake is, to date, my most "over the top" creations.  Here are some other views (its a 360 degree cake)


And now for some close ups:

Donkey Kong


Banana Peel

Bullet, Mushrooms, Turtle Shell and Yoshi

Flowers

Yoshi and Mario

I think he likes it!  Makes all 2 weeks of work totally worth it!

This year he has already put in his request for a Sonic the Hedgehog Cake - I am at a total design loss!!

  6. WOW... I'm speechless! My almost 30 year old brother would love this cake. I just started some Wilton classes and tried my hand at fondant for the first time today... didn't go to well. I need to learn how to cover the cake smoothly... got lots of bubbles, cracks and bumps. Yours is AMAZING!
