Mini Mario Cake
This cake is a little smaller than I typically make, at only about 4.5 inches. I normally stick with 6-inch rounds at the smallest, b/c they are wider than they are tall, which makes them more stable and less likely to wobble or tip over. But I wanted to make a little bitty Mario cake for a little one's 4th birthday party. He loved the huge Mario cake I made for someone else in January and so I made this one similarly for him, although on a much smaller scale :). It is frosted in buttercream icing and trimmed with mmf details. The tunnel with the flower is a heavy duty paper tube (the ones that are inside a roll of plastic wrap are great for this!) covered in green mmf. The flower, mushrooms and bullet are handmade from mmf. The stars are mmf on lollipop sticks. I wrapped the board in foil and covered it in green mmf for added color. Happy Birthday Calvin!
