I made the Super Mario birthday cake for my son’s birthday. I decorated it using Wilton Ready-To-Use Decorator Icing and colored it using Wilton food coloring. I couldn’t find any Super Mario baking pans, so I had my son find a picture of Mario that he liked on the internet.
I enlarged the picture, traced it on parchment paper. I frosted the cake and waited about 5 hours for the icing to get a little stiff, set the parchment paper with the drawing on top of the cake and with a needle or tooth pick made holes so that the impression stays on the icing. After that I piped the outline with black icing and then filled the outline with the colors of Super Mario.
Awesome cake! Looks great, good job and thanks for the idea! I was looking for a Super Mario cake idea for my sons 4th birthday. Thanks.
This cake is totally awesome!
If you print a mirror image and tape parchement or wax paper to it, you can trace the image with your black icing. Freeze the traced image until hard and when the icing on the cake has hardened enough, place the image on top of the cake with the black icing down on the cake. It will stick to the cake and you can just peel off the wax paper. Voila, your image is on the cake and you just have to fill it in with color. This saves the time of poking holes to create a pattern on the cake.
you guys should look up Mario Cakes on Picsearch! The cakes are even more astonishing.
Thank you to the person who gave the tip about tracing the parchment paper with icing and freezing it, I will use this forever. Thank you very much :)

If you made it yourself, please help me…. thanx
This is a great super Mario cake!! i love it! it makes me want to make one! :D
This is an awesome cake! I’m trying to do the same for my son’s 5th birthday. I was just wondering how you piped in the colors? Did you use the star tip or did you just pipe it in a smoothed it out? I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know
the tip about tracing the outline with icing and then freezing it and transferring it is GENIUS!!! I am going to try this for my son’s birthday next month!!
Awesome. Am looking for ideas, but I am not that talented!
