Apr 30 2008I'm Getting Hungry: Another Mario Cake

Two Mario posts in a row! *jackpot buzzer* I think I've won a prize! Damnit, it's just the fire alarm. The girlfriend must be burning something in the kitchen (surprise, surprise). So, here we have another Mario cake. We certainly have seen quite a few Mario-themed edibles here on Geekologie, haven't we? We sure have. And it won't stop until the world is void of fondant. Speaking of which, I don't want any damn bickering about how much fondant tastes like shit, etc. etc., in the comments section. You behave yourselves. This isn't about fondant and its properties, this is about Mario-cake artistry. And, quite frankly, I'd eat that cake if it was made of cat shit. You see, I lost my taste buds in a bet that I couldn't eat 20 wasabi filled habanero peppers in two minutes while my roommate continually kicked me in the ballsack. Everything went numb after about twenty seconds, but sadly, my taste buds never returned (and neither did one teste -- I think it's floating around in my pelvis).
Several more pictures of the cake, as well as the artist's original drawing of the thing, after the jump.




A Geek-ful cake [cookingismypassion]
Thanks to Karina, who has (unknowingly) agreed to make me a cake like this for my birthday, for the tip

we should have a national mario day, with balloons and parades and stuff, then we all get drunk and beat up the guy dressed like mario.

Hang on. First we find out this Mario chap is a paedophile, and now he's attending children's parties? The News of the World's editor must just have had a stroke!
Frankly, I'd rather have Marilyn Monroe... or the Geekologie guy.

Some things are too beautiful to eat. As a special treat, I would put some garlic flavoring in Mario's mustache. Something about eating a mans facial hair in cake form that deserves a punishment for your palate.

Omnomnomnom. I just want to bite mario's nose off!

Do you suppose anybody actually eats these? Fondant tastes like shit.
7. pickle - April 30, 2008 1:55 PM
it would be good if the cake didn't taste like regurgitated dogshit.

Fondant is rather disgusting...and Geekologie guy, it's testie, not teste. I'm sorry that I have do this sometimes to you Geekologie guy, I really do, but sometimes you just make these little mistakes and I feel it as a duty to help correct you...because I care.
I remember the first correction I ever posted on this site, do you remember Geekologie guy? You had posted something about Christ and the Apostles, but you had called the Apostles disciples and I promised to pray for your soul for such blasphemy. I might not have ever prayed for your soul, but I do remember that day...
Keep on keepin' on, Geekologie guy. But remember, you're never alone since I'm here. :)

>Uncle Ecoli- Although fondant *does* taste like crap, there is a fabulous butter cream substitute that you can use for this cake... and it would look just as spectacular, too.
I have to say that this *is* one of the best versions of a nintendo-based cake i have seen yet. Let's Eat!!

The mystery block in his finger(?) looks like a piece of cheese.

Mario looks like a stripper coming out of the cake like that.

@8 it is teste. What the hell is a testie, dumbass

"Speaking of which, I don't want any damn bickering about how much fondant tastes like shit, etc. etc., in the comments section. You behave yourselves. This isn't about fondant and its properties, this is about Mario-cake artistry."
Geekology-writer-guy clearly predicted your doucheness
13. SmokingGirl - April 30, 2008 5:03 PM
Actually, @12, we are both incorrect. Testis is the singular form of the plural testes. However, testis is pronoucned "testie" so the "s" is silent.
And furthermore, a teste is a witness in accordance with a court of law, not a single testicle. And also, a testie is one who tests products for corporations, usually within the scientific community.
So in sumation, it is testis, testes...testicle, testicles. I hope we all learned something today.
And P.S. The Geekologie guy was egging us on to diss the fondant, not having a bout of prophecy within his cubicle.
14. SmokingGirl - April 30, 2008 5:06 PM
P.P.S. After further review, "testie" is the most common form of slang for a single testicle, especially when in reference to a "testie-blow" or "testie-pop" and "testie cancer".

i like fondant......
maybe thats because SOME people can actually make flavored fondant and not fondant that just tastes like chalk.
16. wiinja - April 30, 2008 9:20 PM
all fondant must die
17. mahalohalo - April 30, 2008 9:43 PM
great great concept, props to the brainstorming artist :)
and 'furthermore'... i feel that a rather someone on this site should go off and stuff it.

20. Panda_Jäger - May 1, 2008 11:03 PM
that mario cake is all about fighting the man. by taking psychedelic mushrooms.
21. NaughtyNurse - May 2, 2008 10:25 AM
@shaunjon - I pray that was sarcasm.

THanks for the post, dude from geekologie;
I'm getting negative vibes here about fondant... *laughs* *shrug* it's definitely alot easier to peel the frosting off in comparison to buttercream or royal icing. Try swiping a gunk of frosting off a cake before eating it; or just simply peeling off a clean edible layer before consumption; i'd pick the latter.
Most people don't eat frosting; thats why fondant is perfect for them :). The mario head was done in fondant without cake inside; the birthday boy kept it as a souvenir after the cake was eaten. I bet he enjoyed having a mario bobble head out of sugar to keep. Can't do that with whipped cream can you? :P

I love the detail. Even the stitching on his overalls is there. Wonderful!

For this matter, once I discussed with one of my friends, not only about the content you talked about, but also to how to improve and develop, but no results. So I am deeply moved by what you said today.

Wow this looks cool, sharing on twitter now... :D
