My son wanted a Mario and Luigi birthday for his 5th. As of the morning of making this cake I still had no idea what angle I wanted to go. So I asked "the customer" (always advisable). He said "Mario jumping on a chocolate chip" (chocolate chip is what he calls the triangle monsters). SO...that's what he got! This was a free hand drawing on a half sheet cake.
I incorporated the "checkered flag" effect on the rim because it was also a a "Mario Kart" party.
My daughter asked for rice krispie treats too (because she can't have wheat). So I made a simple "Mario Star" and added yellow coloring to the marshmallow. Easy and turned out pretty cool!
Yes, those are his goofy parents :)
