One cake to rule them all

I’m not sure why video game themed cakes are all the rage right now (besides the fact that they are awesome), but everything from Super Mario Bros. to Zelda to Super Smash Bros. has sprung up as a sugary tribute.

That being said, this latest confectionery contraption, which launched alongside Mario Kart Wii at one lucky couple’s wedding, blows away the competition. Don’t get me wrong, the other cakes are all amazing in their own right, but the level of detail put into this cake is unprecedented. Characters are driving specific karts. Rainbow Road is rainbowed. Peach is even giving Mario a little peck on the nose. More pictures outlining the finer points of this gravity defying work of art after the break.

I promise that I had no intention of making the thumbnails look like a castle. But you have to admit, with a flag pole and some fireworks, that puppy is straight out of world 1-1.

    [...] Uh, EUREKA! I’ve found my wedding cake! I’m an Ace of Cakes addict, and though I don’t know who made this cake, I could imagine them creating something like this for me. With the exception of it being on top of slices of toast. This is not my way of saying that I’m getting married people, don’t get any ideas. I don’t know if I’d have the courage to eat such a wonderful masterpiece. [via.] [...]

    Wow! That is incredible. You always hear people at parties saying that the cake in question looks too good to cut into, so I could only imagine what they’d say about this one! Thank goodness the rules of the game require the man and wife (or whatever kind of combo) to cut into it. I don’t know if I could do it! In either case, my favorite part of the cake from what I can see is Toad in his kart - hilarious!!

    ok, so if i could find a girl that would want this cake at her wedding, i think i could potentially ask her to marry me on the spot!
