yet another awesome cake

i was just browsing cake wrecks today to look for a link to another blog that gave tips on fancy cake decorating using gum paste and fondant...and i came across the most amazing wedding cake ever.  let it be known that what i am about to show here is from let them eat cake in california, because goodness knows when i might need to call them about some cool cakes!!

look at all the stuff going on here! can you spot all the characters?

oh, and that is rainbow road circling the middle (planet).

i love that mario is standing on a block. so funny!

here you can see that rainbow road is made out of sugar art.

apparently everything on the cake was edible - all the better!

the fact that they remembered to include the ball & chain thing is just hilarious!

check out the detail on the wing of toad's blooper (i think that's what he's driving...)

needless to say, i am super impressed.  this comes on the eve of terence's birthday cake this weekend (which i'm making), and i was totally planning on making him a mario kart themed cake!  talk about perfect timing!  my idea though, is not as elaborate, obviously...but this does give me good ideas on how to shape certain characters/objects from mario kart in a more simplified form.
