Super Mario Wedding Cakes


Should I say, It's a gamer's dream or fantasy? To me it looks both a dream and a fantasy. These cute and yummy looking Super Mario Wedding Cakes aren't just made to impress the guests, but more of a symbolic thing for the bride and groom. Many wedding ceremonies these days are going for the non-traditional one, why? Because the bride and groom wanted to be unique, not to be judged or boast about their luxury, but to show to the world that their eternal love holds a very special bond that's beyond the ordinary.

Check out this first cake posted on flicker by alttxt. It was made by Robin of Gateaux Inc. in Minneapolis. This dream cake almost did not came true because the groom couldn't find the little Princess figure. Luckily, through months of searching, the bride found a set of Japan's "Nintendo Club" figures on eBay!

The next Super Mario Wedding Cake below was actually inspired by the first one (above). A 100% edible Chocolate Decadence Cake (black chocolate cake filled with bittersweet chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream and chocolate mousse) that best fitted both the bride and groom's wedding! Made by "Let Them Eat Cake" in California, posted on flicker by M.A.L. The cake's elements were inspired by multiple Mario Kart games and some from the Super Mario Bros. games.

I have to say, among the other Super Mario inspired wedding cakes, this one's my favorite! Looks heavenly!

Take a good look at this next cake, looks familiar? Well it does of course! It's similar to Super Mario Kart Wedding Cake above. I found this gorgeous looking cake at Kotaku, posted by Michael Fahey.

I had found pics of a very similar cake online, and it inspired me to create my own Mario cake and surprise my groom on our wedding day (November 5th).

I'm not really sure what the bride means here, but her cake sure looks like the one above. Anyway, they both look heavenly!

My groom is a professional video gamer, and his favorite game is Mario cart. We were married in Vegas, so I had the bottom tier a desert theme, and I went with the old school Peach Castle rather than a modern one. I'm brunette, and my groom a blonde, so I had them customize Peach and Mario accordingly.

Very nice topper! I'd sure give the bride a standing ovation because of this cake.

In addition to our lovely Super Mario Wedding Cakes collection, here's another triple layered cake with lots of turtle shells and that nasty popping piranha flower enemy of Mario. This one's also posted on flicker by About the Cake. The bottom layer, as you can clearly see, is the first stage of the Super Mario Bros. game. All the way to the top layer, the cake was fully designed with Mario's enemies. And of course, the wedding cake topper, a happy looking Mario with his Princess Peach bride on top of the cake! Enjoy!

Still feeling a bit unsure to what style of wedding dress to choose? Actually it doesn't matter whether you want a simple or dramatic wedding dress on your big day, what's important is your tailor. It doesn't matter if you use the most expensive cloth for your gown if the your tailor is not an expert. So choose wisely, even cheaper types of cloth can be as elegant-looking as these wedding dresses if you have a professional tailor.
