We're coming to eat your SOUL!!!

So... I'm going to live in imaginary land where 2009 never happened. Here's Mike's second birthday cake for our party with friends back in Phoenix!

It's based off of the original NES Super Mario Bros world. The castle is one of the early level castles. It's red velvet with caramel icing and little caramel battlements. The "grout" is pocky sticks, and the dirt is brown sugar.

The Goombas (mushrooms) are spice cake mini-cup cakes with M&M dots. Didn't get a chance to do angry eyebrows or little fangs. The special ability cupcakes are also spice cake mini-cupcakes with cream cheese frosting covered in colored sugar and M&M dots. 

I thought about laying out the whole first level... but... yeah... ran out of time.  So I decided that an army of mushrooms surrounding the castle would be sufficeint and still funny :)
