My friend, Kalynn, loves Mario, so I made these for her, for her birthday.
I found it really fun to do and would definitely do it again.
I hope anyone who tries this, has fun.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 box White Cake Mix
  • 2 Jars Icing
  • 4 Colors Of Food Coloring
  • 4 Bowl(s)
  • 2 12 cup Baking Pan
  • 1 Icing Tube

Steps (8 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    I used pillsbury because it's the cheapest and mom was buying it for me.
    The picture shows all the ingredients I used.
    The liquid in the jug all the way to the left is vegetable oil.

  2. 2

    I separated it into four different bowls after I mixed it all together.

  3. 3

    I added the food coloring and mixed them individually.

  4. 4

    I then put them into baking cups, one color at a time, and made weird patterns.

  5. 5

    I baked them and waited for them to cool down for about an hour. I mixed the icing as I waited.
    I bought duncan hines icing, because, again, it was cheapest and mom was supplying everything.
    I used green icing coloring and made green icing, and the standard white was perfect right out of the jar.

  6. 6

    I used an icing spreader to spread the icing around the tops of the cupcakes. A knife would work if you don't have a spreader.

  7. 7

    The white icing went into an icing tube, which you can purchase at general stores for pretty cheap.
    I piped the white icing onto the cupcakes in circles.

  8. 8

    After each cupcake looks like a 1Up, you're ready to arrange them.
    I was taking them to my friend for her birthday, so I just made 17 of the 1Ups, because she was turning 17, and then put her name on the rest.
    It was the perfect amount for me.
    I hope yours turn out rad. =]
    Good Luck and have fun.
