Super Mario Mushroom

The birthday boy loves the Super Mario game and so his girlfriend decided to get this cake for him. This is the 1 UP mushroom from the game sitting on top of a block where Mario is supposed to hit it to get points. Ok... I know this might not make sense and I'm not that good at game-speak.. but if you are familiar with the game, I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about :)

Mushroom and block are all made of cake.

Mario Kart whizzes by!

I remember Mario as a 2D character punching bricks and stomping on mushrooms, when I was playing Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Famicom yonks ago (oops....:p). Years on, Mario and his posse of friends (and "enemies") still live on, albeit in a much more sophisticated form.  

And it looks like will continue to be a favourite among the kids! It's rather strange isn't it, that kids take to this little Italian guy with the huge handelbar moustache......hahahaha!

Mario Kart Wii Cupcakes!

Orion's latest craze is Mario Kart Wii and what better way to surprise him on his birthday than with Mario Kart Wii cupcakes! I baked these little chocolate cuppies as gifts for his classmates to take home one each.
