Sunday Sweets: When Mario Marries
January 24, 2010 One of the best things about having such a high geek percentile among you readers is that I get to see some awesomely geeky wedding cakes. Just look at what a few of your fellow Wrecktators have sent in:
This is Wreckie Jasmine W's wedding cake., made by Jacque’s Fine European Pastries. Awesome. Plus, check out the teensy-tiny mushrooms, turtle, and goomba at the bottom!Next we have Wreckie Tess F.'s wedding cake:
I love this style. The cake was made by Mermaid's Bakery, but Tess made the topper herself. Wowza - great job, Tess!Then there's Ryan I.'s grooms cake, which his wife surprised him with on the big day:
And lastly, Amy H. surprised her hubby with this for their Las Vegas wedding:
Made by the amazing Gimme Some Sugar in Las Vegas.
(Mario & Princess Peach have their hair colors changed to match the bride & groom's.)
So. Cool.

Ahh... that old canard: People who think that cartoon wedding cakes are infantile must not be any fun at parties.
I'm a lamp-shade on my head kind of girl. But I think there's a time and place for everything. I imagine ten years in the future the (hopefully still married) couple will look at photos of their big day and say, "Man, we sure have grown up since then.".
Amazing!! I LOVE Sunday Sweets!!!
Cute cakes - but if you want elegant wedding cake this - at over $1M is the most elegant you will find I betcha:

Wow. These are amazing!
Aww! So cute! Now we just need a Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose cake, and the geeky-awesome will be complete... Now I have to look for one, eheheh.
If only there was a Bowser and Peach one.... Yeah, I'm one of those fans...
Yay! Cake #1 was made at a small bakery in my hometown! They make AMAZING cakes over there.
Those are a lovely set of cakes ^_^
Was the last one going for a remake of this cake:

@ VillageMom-- There's an old canard for that? I thought we were all just inventing one today. Hmm... ;)
There are a lot of traditions surrounding weddings that I am personally not fond of, and even so, if I choose to not support someone in their wedding plans, I promise it would have nothing to do with the couple's choice of cake. So I say, do what's right for you, it's your wedding, and if someone doesn't like it, they don't get any dessert! I can always appreciate people who aren't afraid to let their true selves show a bit on important occasions.
The only potential for real tragedy here is if such a cake doesn't taste too great after all the work that was put into it, but I'd certainly be willing to find out. :)
never much of a Mario fan, especially when the franchize went above and beyond the call of duty, but I can still apreciate the mario cakes I have seen about this site. Even if Princess Peach has dyed her hair.
The last cake was made for myself and my groom by Kristen Wiese. She owns www.gimmesomesugaronline.com she did a fantastic job!! She does a lot of celebrity cakes, but believe it or not, she was the most affordable of all of the cake shops in Vegas ;) ~Amy~
I am really amazed on how the details of the cake are so accurate. Really paid attention.
To Diana and others who criticized the choice of a geeky cake:
To a geek, there is nothing more important than celebrating that which makes you unique. I am a CompSci major (a girl) engaged to another CompSci major and we are ABSOLUTELY going the crazy-unique route for our wedding-- we would rather die than do exactly what everyone else does. Self-expression is the center of our being.
So don't knock the centers of our beings :D

Woah these cakes are cool I would have liked to have seen an underwater scene where they kiss style cake that I'm sure would have been just as challenging. Never the less, these are all stellar designs!
I put down the controller when the Mario Bros. came on the scene, but enough of my friends played it that I more or less know who the major players are. Therefore, I can tell you that these are indeed awesome! I always thought it was so terrible when the game said "Thank you Mario--but our princess is in another castle!" Well looks like he's finally got her. =)
AHHHHHHH!!! I know Tess on Threadless and it is SO cool to see her amazing cake on here, especially since it's not a wreck. :)
Did you just call a Koopa a turtle?
I'm Tess F. And I can most certainly say I have a life (a wonderful one in fact) and just because one element of my wedding was fun and geeky does not mean I didn't take me vows seriously. Anyways, it was destroyed within the hour and tasted delish!
I can't remember who asked but I did make the mario hat, and he is holding it behind his back =)
So instead of being Princess Peach she's Daisy instead?
Those are amazing! I still love Mario and am so glad we can get the old school games on the Wii.
I love Sunday Sweets!
I may be missing something here, and I heart Mario as much as anyone, but isn't "goomba" the same word as they use on the Sopranos to describe the guys' mistresses? Just sayin'...
I am so excited to see this Sunday Sweet post. My soon to be 6-yr old wants a Mario Cake for his birthday. I always make my sons cake (I'm definitely not a professional) and this helps with more ideas!
Thanks!
IT'S PETEY PIRANHA!!!!!! I could never play Mariokart but I love the characters XD
how freaking cute are these?! if my brother ever gets married, i'll have to remember to tell his fiance to make one for him. thanks for posting!
on the one with the custom hair colors...I think it's funny because Peach's hair is blonde and Mario's is brown, but they're switched for the cake to match!!

I would love to see some World of Warcraft wedding cakes! You can buy figurines made of your WoW characters and I know a few couples who met in WoW and used those as their cake toppers. I'm sure there are some wrecktastic WoW cakes out there too.
