In hindsight, I should have done Mario's head ahead of time, like I did with all the other fondant accents. I'm not happy with how the head and face turned out, but the birthday boy was ecstatic about it. There are 100 coins on the cake, because ds said there had to be! I think my favorite parts were the Goombas and Princess Peach. Mario is made from krispie treats, Peach's shape was formed from aluminum foil. Good news is I got to play with my airbrush again, lol. Next project will be dd's first birthday. It isn't till mid-December, but I've been trying to decide what I'm doing for a few months already. I'm making her a small cake to have all to herself, but I want the main cake to be spectacular. Good thing is, she isn't old enough to be the technical adviser just yet. Sorry the pic is so big, I haven't figured out how to make them post smaller.

My daughter's first birthday cake. It was the first time we used rolled buttercream. We had no practice or anything, just a "Hey, let's try this" moment. The cake is frosted with white buttercream frosting, and the the balloons and the name band are made of the rolled buttercream.
