Super mario birthday party

[LilMamiBella]

My son's birthday is on march 7 and he wants a Super Mario birthday. I was wondering if you all could help me out..I need to find stuff like cups, plates, and the birthday cake lol

Supercool! We love all things Mario around here.

A quick google on Super Mario birthday gave me a bunch of links, apparently it's a pretty popular b-day theme

Here's an Ebay guide (I didn't even know there were Ebay guides)

A flickr set of a cool (and unlike the others I found online, actually do-able) SM cake

A site devoted exclusively to cool birthday cakes, with links to Ebay sales of mario shaped cake pans (another thing I never knew existed, I'm gonna have fun browsing today!)

You'll have to post pics of the cake and party stuff when you're done!

oh oh! Mario Mushroom Cupcakes are easy and awesome!

I bought some little figures that I might use for the cake. I'm not sure i want to make the cake..i don't want it to look weird or taste awful.

eta: I found an edible cake topper thingie on ebay so I bought that and I'm just going to put it on a plain colored cake and then have the little figures around it or something.

We did this a couple of months ago for my 5 yo

I am not big on tons of decorations so that part was easy, for the table we had a red tablecloth (couldn't find red/white) with a big gold star in the middle (found at a party store) and a little mario figure on it, balloons of course, and red streamers around. I couldn't find my happy birthday sign or I would have put that up too. We used red cups, plates, etc


We did the mario mushroom cupcakes, including a giant one (i was tired of filling cupcake cups??? haha) - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...shroomcake.jpg


And, we gave the boys Mario Party 8 that day and it was our "party game" but I had read the suggestion of creating your own "mini games" like in the video games and would have done that if I had any idea where to start with it!

Do a search on http://www.craftster.org/forum/ for "Super Mario Birthday". There have been a couple of birthdays with that theme.
Have fun!

I wanted to give an update. We had red, yellow, and blue decorations/balloons. Here's the cake: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/1554779_mqPZz#264785706
R got Super Smash bros brawl for the wii as one of his birthday gifts. We also got Super Mario Bros 3 on dvd from netflix. We had cake, ice cream, pizza because Mario is Italian and loves pizza and Yoshi "juice" which was just green koolaid. We had a great time!

Totally cool LMB, how did you do the cake? Did you get an edible top, or buy a printed cake?

Ds just bought himself Smash Bros Brawl yesterday. I'm looking forward to having a conversation with him again in a few months
