Mario Cake

Myles has recently been playing the old Super Mario games on the computer, so loves Mario at the moment. So I got to do a classic buttercream character face with licorice outline for his birthday. It took me a while colouring all the areas but came out great! Myles got to eat the M! I also couldn't pass on a Super Mario jumper I found at the op shop in his size! (even if he has heaps of jumpers!) He LOVES it!

Rollerskate cake

 

While looking through cake books for Myles' birthday I came across this rainbow rollarskate and, since we were getting together the same weekend to see Michael for his 40th birthday rally car experience, we  couldn't pass up the chance! So I had 2 cakes to make for the weekend!

I originally wanted rainbow twizzlers for the rainbow from my reference pic but I couldn't get any on short notice so had a few options with different stripey rainbow lollies including these sour strips! Plus skittles and licorice strap laces and giant marshmallows for the wheels!
