Coolest Castle Cake

My son wanted a Mario cake for his 8th birthday so I gave it a try! I made the base out of a large sheet cake. I used red, orange and a little black Wilton icing color to get the brick color and I did the sides of the cake first.

Then I iced the top with green. I then used some gray to outline the bricks. For the castle cake I baked two 8×8 cakes (1 cake mix), put a layer of icing in between layers and then iced the rest.

For the turrets I used Twinkies and ice cream cones and secured them to the corners with toothpicks and placed another cone on the top. I used wafer cookies for the doors and tootsie rolls for the door handles.

This cake was very easy to make and He loved how it turned out! I bought some Mario figures from eBay for about $10 which really finished off the cake! The pipes were made out of Twinkies cut in half and covered with fondant, and the mushrooms were made out of fondant as well! This really was an easy cake to do!
