Super Mario Wedding Cake







This is my most non-traditional wedding cake for the year. The bride and groom are gamers and were in love with a particular cake design done by Christopher Garren. I modeled the basic cake structure from his cake but then designed each tier differently. The base tier is a combination of different game elements from the First World. Custom made fondant super coins, mushrooms, star coins and even a Yoshi were included. The winter scene represents the intro screen to the Third World which included Toad Houses, the Cannon and a Winter Turtle. Fondant Wii controls were added as accents to this tier. The sphere is representative of Super Mario Galaxy which leads to the Princess Peach's castle. Atop the castle was a cute Mario cake topper the groom bought and surprised the bride with.
