Past Project- 1-Up Mushroom Cupcake Cake

My husband and my daughter have birthdays just a few weeks apart.  The year she turned 1 was the same year my husband turned 30, so we had a big blow-out bash for both of them.  I decided I wanted to do a Super Mario Bros themed cake, but I was unsure exactly what I wanted to do.  So, since they both were going to be a year older, I decided on the 1-Up Mushroom.  I had looked online at all kinds of ideas and found an idea for a Mario Cupcake Cake.  So I set off to plan my own cupcake cake.  I found an 8-bit graphic of a mushroom and counted how many cupcakes I would need and how many of each color for the icing.  I decided to use mini-cupcakes, since regular ones would yield way too many for the number of guests we were having.  With some simple planning, I was able to accomplish my very own 1-Up Mushroom Cupcake Cake!

I made some Sculpy decorations to place around the cake.
