Goomba cake

It was my boyfriend Peter's birthday this week and he loves video games, so i made him Goomba from Super Mario Bros. This is my favourite cake i've made in the past five years or so i've been baking - i hope you like him too!

My Goomba cake was made out of the following:
  • Head and body: chocolate mud cake in a Wilton giant cupcake tin, covered with milk chocolate ganache
  • Feet: LCM (Kelloggs rice bubble bars) x 5
  • Details and Mario figurine: white fondant coloured with various Wilton icing colours.

Goomba cake - took about 7 hours to make over two days

Goomba cake being demolished, nooo!

If you would like any tips on how to make one, or want me to make one for someone you know then feel free to contact me.

Giant cupcake adventures

My latest creation was a giant cupcake for a friend's birthday, plus three dozen cupcakes. Pretty happy how it turned out considering it's only the second time i've used my Wilton giant cupcake tin.

Compared to my first giant cupcake made nine months ago... i think i've improved a lot :)
