    Default Mario Brothers Cupcake Birthday Cake I made for $10. Will feed 40 :)

    My son's 5th Birthday Party is tomorrow and he wanted a Mario theme which was not cheap if I purchased everything from online. I decided to make the things myself and save a ton of money. One of the things I made was his cake which cost me a grand total of $10. Anybody who is familiar with Mario Brothers recognizes the Invincibility Star and here it is made out of 40 or so cupcakes...

    Absolutely stunning!! How long did it take you to decorate and what's under the star? What a fun theme!!

    That is really wonderful, shortstack!

    My sons were really into Mario bros, too. Those little guys have been popular for a loooooong time, haven't they?

    That is so awesome! I think you may have just given me an idea for DS7's birthday in September. He's crazy about SMB and this would be fantastic to do for him.
