3...2...1...Mario Kart Cake

3...2...1... Happy Birthday!
My son loves Mario Kart, specifically Waluigi. So for his 7th birthday, we did a MK themed party where he dressed in his purple suspendered Waluigi costume. The kids and adults had a blast playing MK on the wii. Here's how the cake turned out...

Mario Kart Mini Karts

The inside of the cake was checkered like a racing flag,
find the very easy tutorial here. Mine didn't turn out perfect,
 but it was fun and pretty simple to do.

Icing Tip for grass

The #7 was done by cutting same size squares from black
and white fondant, assembling the check pattern and
then using a Wilton Number & Alphabet Cookie Cutter.
I applied it on top of white fondant 7 to give it more strength.

The "Happy Birthday" sign was made using this font.
