ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! I'm wondering, how many costs this kind of cake, made by a baker? Coz my oldest son is also a Mario fan and his birthday is coming soon. Thank you in advance! Math.

Hi just wondering, what type of cake is it made from..?
ReplyDeleteIs it sponge? cos it looks so light and fluffy, but i wouldn't have thought sponge could be dense enough to handle the weight of the layers and icing..! pls let me know as i am going to make a cookie monster for a first b'day and would love to make a similar type of cake thats easy to shape!! thx
