There have been some amazing, edible creations that we’ve posted on this site, but this one takes the cake. Hannah couldn’t make up her mind as to the cake she wanted for her fourth birthday, so her parents played through Super Mario Galaxy with her to make the Galaxy cake all the more convincing. Several concept designs later, this beauty was ready to be cut up and eaten.

And just when you thought the cake looked complex enough, the masterpiece you see before you is loaded with Rice Krispes Treats, electrical wiring, motors, mp3 players, a heavy wooden frame, fiber optic lights, you name it… all for the most magical undertaking I’ve seen for anything intended to be gobbled up. I think I might just cry… both at the sheer beauty of the video footage after the break, and knowing where the remains of the cake now rest…

I’m pretty sure Hannah had a better fourth birthday cake than all of us. Read on for that video as well as some additional photos. NOW.

Be sure to head over and read all about Will and Liliana (Hannah’s parents) getting Hannah to want the Mario cake, planning and sketching out the cake, to finally constructing it over at their personal web site.
