We did a trial run of the Mario castle cake I planned to make for Caden's friend party a few weeks ago with Jamie. A single GF cake mix didn't make it to the halfway mark in the castle cake pan so logic and engineering estimating would dictate that it would take 3 cake mixes to make this cake. Right? Welll...... not so much. It overflowed. This picture was taken Thursday night and I haven't even cleaned the oven yet! Oops! In good news, it was the tastiest GF cake we've ever made!
Next stop, icing. A trial of a light layer of icing over the 3-D cake looked awful so that wasn't going to work. I ended up just icing the windows, doors, and turrets and then adding fruit gummy rocks and some Mario characters.

Luckily for me, it seems to have been a hit!
