How To Make A Super Mario Birthday Cake

The Super Mario birthday party theme has grown in popularity since the release of the Super Mario games on Wii. Many kids are requesting this party theme for their next birthday celebration.

There are many fun birthday cakes for this party theme. I will provide lots of cake photos, recipes and decorating instructions, cake supplies plus much more to help you create an awesome cake for your Super Mario Birthday party.

The most popular cake designs for a Super Mario party include: tiered fondant cakes, a cake using a specialty cake pan, cupcake cakes, cookie cakes, cupcake towers, yellow star cake, 1up mushroom cake, mushroom cake & cupcakes, party cakes featuring Super Mario figures and a Princess Peach cake.

Making a Super Mario fondant cake is a very popular design. When using fondant, the possibilities are endless. The five fondant Mario cakes I have pictured here were created by neviepiecakes' , layers of love, alway's cakes, Madd66 and sandra socakes. These are just examples of what you can do with fondant.

Since Super Mario features bright and bold colors, you could purchase the Wilton ready-made fondant in primary colors. Or, you prefer to make you own fondant, you could tint it instead. To add Super Mario stars onto your cake, use a five pointed star cookie cutter.

The great thing about decorating with fondant is that you can get as fancy or as simple as you want and the cake will still look awesome. If the fondant cakes I have pictured here look too complicated, no problem. You can bake a basic sheet cake, cover in light blue fondant and then accent with yellow stars, mushrooms, and other Super Mario designs. Use the cakes I have pictured here to spark your creativity and you will be surprised with what you will be able to do!

These adorable Super Mario star cookies were created using marshmallow fondant colored blue for the background and the yellow stars were flavored lemon marshmallow fondant. The eyes were black royal icing.  Very cute idea!  Would make great party snacks or you could wrap these cookies in cello treat bags and hand them out as party favors.

Carolyn from the Learning Nook created this terrific Super Mario Cake.

She used Wilton 10" and 6" round cake pans. To achieve the desired height, she baked a total of four cakes. The entire cake was frosted light blue and Super Mario figures were used as cake toppers.

This creative Super Mario cupcake stand was designed by swishersweets80's. For instructions and a photo tutorial on how you can create a cupcake tree like this one, please check out my Cupcake Tree hub.

Custom made Super Mario cupcake picks were used to top the cupcakes. Cut out small circles from colorful cardstock. Then, add on Super Mario images to the circles. Attach the completed circles to popsicle sticks and insert them into the cupcakes.

Swishersweets80's also shares her other party photos including the table setting, decorations and party favors. Check them out!

I love this cake! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to include it on my Super Mario birthday cake page. This cupcake creation is a fun twist on your basic Cupcake Cake. Instead of placing the cupcakes together and icing them as one cake, they are iced individually and arranged to form Super Mario.

Elsharooni used 143 mini cupcakes and 4 cake boards to achieve the look of this cake. The results are amazing.   This is a very unique cake idea for your Super Mario birthday.

This birthday cake was created using the 1989 Wilton Super Mario cake pan #2105-2989. This is a retired cake pan; however, it is still available for purchase. Sometimes the cake pans can be purchased with the original pan insert/instructions. If the insert is not included, you can download the cake pan instructions at Cake Central. You have to register first, but it is a simple process.

This Super Mario Mushroom Cake was baked using a Pampered Chef Batter Bowl.

This birthday cake cookie was baked in a Precious Moments cake pan and then decorated to look like Princess Peach.  You can visit my Princess Peach Party page for lots more birthday ideas for this theme including personalized invitations, custom party favors, more birthday cake ideas, party supplies, party attire, games, crafts, decorations and much more.
