The cake is an 8" madeira with jam and vanilla buttercream filling covered in sugarpaste (fondant). I then brushed over blue lustre dust and used star shaped embossers around the sides of the cake. I piped a row of royal icing stars and piped the words freehand.
Mario himself is a bit on the portly side, but it gives him his charm! He is made out of sugarpaste (fondant), as are the two mushrooms that sit by his side. The stars that embellish the sides were cut out with a star plunger cutter and attached with a little royal icing.
I love this cake - and so did my son and his friends!
