After getting inspiration from this website I felt able to make my own Mario cake for a friend’s son. I made an 8 inch chocolate marble Madeira sponge for the face and then a small cake in a loaf tin to cut out the ears. When making a circular Madeira it is really important to make a well in the center so that the cake doesn’t rise as a big dome.
I then crumb coated the whole cake with butter icing and left to harden for an hour. The cake is covered in ready-roll fondant icing, approve 1kg coloured with peach for the whole face (large oval piece for nose) and then a total of another 500g colour with dark brown for eyebrows, sideburns and moustache, red for cap, white, black and navy for eyes and white and red for mouth.
I used a really brilliant Pampered Chef roller for the icing, it does it really evenly.
You did a great job on this cake!
I came across this site purely by chance and am astonished by your cake design! I certainly don’t have the confidence to try myself, but with your post, I can send to a bakery. THANKS!
