Mario inspired cupcakes!

I made these for the lovely Bobbie of Cute World Photographie.  I've always been a huge gamer (although I grew up as a Sega child, so making Nintendo inspired sweets feels a tad like a betrayal :P).  Still, they were a blast to make!  Six cupcakes were chocolate with chocolate Nutella buttercream, covered in fondant and 3-D fondant figures, and the other six were chocolate with red and green salted caramel buttercream and little fondant mushroom spots! 

My favourite!
