Mario-themed creation *almost* takes the cake in Austin

In case you weren’t able to make it out to this year’s “That Takes the Cake!” contest in Austin, Texas, we’ll give you a partial summary – the part that matters to us gamers. In the category of “Special Occasion or Novelty Tiered Cakes,” a New Super Mario Bros. Wii cake won second place, sandwiched in between a Candyland cake in third and a Hat Box cake in first. Yeah. A hat box.

The “Super Mario Birthday Bash” cake was made by Mendy Lindsay, who impressively made this cake as part of the adult beginners’ division. You can click on through to check out the full picture of the cake, taken by snarkygurl.
