This was a vanilla chiffon cake covered, filled with vanilla buttercream and decorated with rolled fondant.  

Size: 6" wide by 4" tall   serving size: ~8 

Equipment used:

Virgin White white rolled fondant

Americolor gel food colouring:  teal, pink, red, blue, back, and brown

Small cloud cookie cutter

Letter cookie cutters

round cookie cutter

Sharp scalpel exacto knife

How I decorated the cake:

• I crumb coated and covered the whole cake with teal vanilla cream.  Gel food colouring: Americolor in teal
• Printed out 2 clip art or coloring book images of Super Mario face.  Tip: use plain black and white images.
• I took one of the images and cut out Super Mario's face.  
• Then I rolled out skin colored fondant.   
• I the Super Mario cutout on top of the fondant, cut around the image, and place it on top of the prepared cake.
• I used the second image as template to cut out Mario's eyes, nose, hat, moustache and sideburns.
• I then cut out clouds and letterings and place them on the side of the cake.
• I also sprinkled some yellow star sprinkles to add some sparkle on the side of the cake.
