I've been crafty for as long as I can remember, and will DIY something twice over before I have someone do it for me. I'm a semi-awkward, typeface obsessed, design junkie and have been know to break out my dance moves for no reason as well as try my best to be ridiculous at all times.

After a 2.5 year engagement, we're planning a modern-in-disguise traditional wedding, and cannot wait!
About Mrs. Giraffe

Mari—Oh Snap!

October 20th, 2010 @ 8:35 am by Mrs. Giraffe

(Side note: I never really joined the “oh snap” trend when it was popular and, feeling like I missed out, I’m now throwing back to the early ’00s.)

So I had a nice, moderately interesting post about Mr. G and me transitioning from a long-distance relationship to a short-distance relationship for last night, but I fell asleep on the couch with a computer on my lap. My bad, but oh well. :) I still want to get into that, but today I have something that’s way more exciting than hearing me talk about myself (even though it might be my favorite topic).

It all started with me seeing a photo of wedding cake with a Goomba on top (pictured below), a la Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. After that, I couldn’t help but wonder about Mario-themed wedding cakes. I showed it to the future Mister, and Mr. G instantly wanted our cake to look like a Goomba so I had to start looking into Mario cakes.

Yeeeaaaaaah, well apparently, that wasn’t the only one! Yup, apparently the rest of the Internet feels the same kinship to Mario and Peach’s relationship as Mr.G does. Ready for this? There’s no way not to smile after these!

Now first, I have to mention that you should use caution when sharing these with your groom. I mean, I love Mario as much as the next guy, and I grew up with him, hung out with him, and feel pretty close to the Italian plumber. I do, I really do, but I just can’t see him at my wedding. I mean, we only can fit so many people at our venue, and he’d probably bring Toad, which would be another plate to pay for. That being said, after Mr.G saw the Goomba cake, he would looove to have Mario at our wedding. Knowing him, he’d probably bring Luigi, Boswer, and Baby Bowser (and we’re not even inviting children!)…at least we could invite Yoshi? I always loved that dino since Super Mario came out on Super Nintendo.

First, let’s start with the Mario cupcakes! Can’t get enough of these!

You want to know why I love that cake the most? Is it because of its crazy detail, like the Bloopers in the water levels? Maybe. But I love it because of the side cakes made to go with it. UH-MA-ZING!

Ohhhhhhhh man! These cakes just make me so happy, but to be perfectly honest, if I was going to have a gamer cake at my wedding, it would have to pay homage to my favorite little guy.

Anybody else totally geeking out with your wedding cake? Because if you are, I might seriously love you for it.

Ohhhh OK, one more for the road!

I totally want to do 1-up mushroom cupcakes… But I don’t know if my fiance will let me! I should post pictures of my bob-omb brownies though. They’d make cute favours!

Too cute! I do love me some Mario, but if FI and I are going to geek out with our cake, it would definitely have to be a World of Warcraft or Harry Potter themed cake!

I love this post!

My favorite weddings to plan are the ones that the bride and groom really want the wedding to reflect them. I have yet to plan/attend one that wasn’t a hit, and where everyone didn’t have a BLAST!

Kudos <3
