Welcome to Mary Has A Little Blogger!

Firstly wanted to say thank you for stopping in and reading my blog! I hope to post up alot of different things that everyone can enjoy.  Like this lovely picture of a Luigi's hat cake that I had made just for fun one day.   Thought it was a good first post to show my love of cooking/baking and all things that are nerdy!

It was a simple rectangle cake that was trimmed down for the base of the hat.  The left overs were mixed together with some butter cream to become a kinda paste that was placed on the cake to get the bump at the top of the cake.  After the shape was constructed I covered it in my own marshmallow fondant.  For the bill of the cake it is just a sheet of the same fondant but the lip was made by folding the fondant underneath to give a bump.  After all the green fondant was on I used the rest to make a ball and the L logo.  The ball went on the back and then using a toothpick gave a wrinkle texture around it.  The L was placed on the half circle of white fondant.   I hope to re make this cake one day with more pictures to show how it was done.

Thanks for taking time to read my post.  Look forward to more.
