Mario's back again.

My camera wasn't working so this is a picture that Rosita took and I stole from her my space. They loved it and that's what counts. Cake was 2 tier, top was vanilla cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and bottom cake was chocolate with whipped cream and bananas. Little story behind it.Here we go....I had went to sleep at 3 am Sunday morning working on Mario and other little things, so I set my cell alarm so I wouldn't wake anyone at 6am. I figured I'd get some 3 hours of sleep, well I don't know how crazy I slept but my phone was under my back and the alarm never went off. So...I woke up to the morning sun in my face at 8am (nice sleep hhhmm....snore) and was real behind because we were supposed to leave my house to the bay area at 9am. Didn't happen! My little one decided he's was going to stick his finger in my already iced smooth cake...aaarrrrgh! I am going ballistic and late...... I begin to fix the cake and finally start to put my top tier on when ......yeah how'd you guess...it fell over and messed up by bottom and ruined my top. I was just about ready to give up on cakes. In my rush to scream and run off like those crazy runaway brides, I break a glass cup spill what's in it all over the floor. SHOOT ME PLEASE!!!! Well just thinking about it erks me but it turned out and we were late to work but the cake arrive in one piece after gluing it together with Crazy glue for a 2 hour drive. lol I'm just kidding. Well it turned out, let's put Mario to rest for a while...please. Thanks for tuning in.

Mario in DEMAND!

This is a another Mario order. Now everywhere I look I see Mario. lol I made 25 Mario cookies. I really need to find a cutout for this little guy. I used several different cutters to get different shapes until I came up with this. Time consuming little things, but I think they're turning out better as we go along. Believe it or not, I used a flower cutter for his mustache, small oval cutter for nose, round 2" cutter for face and hat, a Wilton tip for eyes, a small heart cut in half for ears. The "M" I wrote with royal icing. It's a No Fail Sugar cookie recipe which you can find on Cake Central and Antonia 74 royal icing. I hope this is the last week of Mario Bros, I would like to see new things come my way. I guess I shouldn't complain I should be happy to be busy. I will post the 2 tier cake for the same party tomorrow not done yet, actually haven't even started it. Long night.... gotta go. Thanks for looking.

Mario & Luigi cake & cupcakes

These were time consuming little things because all the cutting is freehand, but I like the bright colors. I made 36 cupcakes and a 10" cake. It was for my husbands cousins two little boys she decided to celebrate both her boys birthdays in one. So we made Mario & Luigi. The characters were made with fondant and a little tylose, I can never get the gum paste to do wonders for me. It dries out and then cracks. I tried Sweetex for the first time and I'm so happy. It so much easier to smooth onto cake, I really love it. I figured my last cake was made of fondant but not everyone likes fondant, so I settled on butter cream and it worked! Well not much more to say about the cakes. Thanks for looking!
