Baking a cake of epic proportions

in food •  6 years ago 

For his 6th birthday, my son has requested I make a cake that looks like this:

It's Super Mario's Odyssey ship thingy, in case you were wondering. My son has never played the popular Nintendo Switch game, but thanks to YouTuber Stampy Longnose, he knows all about it and is a big fan.

So far I have baked three sponge cakes and I need to head to the shops for more butter and fondant icing. The cake needs to be done by 2pm today - no mean feat. To say I am stressed is an understatement.

I will hopefully post a picture later of my cake creation.

At least this time it's not a rainbow submarine with a crocodile eating it - the cake he requested for his 4th birthday.

Last year's cake was the simplest of all - a Minecraft cake (literally a square cake with white icing and red squares on it).

Wish me luck!!!!!!!
