Gamified Character Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Super Mario Wedding Cake Design Stays True to the Classic Video Game

— July 21, 2014 — Lifestyle
This 8-bit wedding cake design is modeled after the classic Super Mario video game. The cake features five different tiers inspired by the iconic pixelated game starring Mario, Wario, Yoshi and Princess Peach.

Super Mario is an iconic video game designed for the Super Nintendo game console. The game surrounds a pair of plumber brothers named Mario and Luigi that are off to rescue Princess Peach from the infamous turtle villain Bowser. This cake commemorates Mario and Princess Peach with a cake topper of the pair. The subsequent technicolor layers are decorated after the various Super Mario levels in the game. The cake tiers depict various video game obstacles like hungry venus fly traps, floating levels and Goomba monsters. Each of the cake layers are stacked using green pipe decorations reminiscent of the Super Mario pipes.
