. I'm not great at making cakes, actually I suck, but I think that worked to my advantage cause Mario looks a little pixelated. Cake is from scratch, lemon with buttercream frosting, decorated with sprinkles and chocolate chips. Cupcakes were just the boxed rainbow bit with buttercream frosting as well, and decorated with white chocolates. It was a big hit! 
I think I will totally use your cupcake idea for my hubby's birthday!
