Blow those candles out! Rio's Mario RPG Bundt cake photo
  share: Twitter Facebook Reddit Digg
filed under: #Role Playing Games

[Editor's note: Rio McCarthy is amazing!!! She remade the cake boss from the greatest game ever and it looks delicious. I want to pull a Booster and eat it in one giant bite! -- CTZ]

Ever since Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars came out many moons ago, it has been my absolute favorite game of all time, as well as the game I most frequently replay. I try to make it a habit to at least beat the game once a year and it always delights me every time.

One of my favorite things about the game are the boss battles and there was always one in particular, Bundt. I mean seriously, who doesn't love a boss that's made out of cake? Well I do that's for sure, so I made him ... out of cake. 


Not only did I make Bundt (with Raspberry of course) I also made Chef Torte and his Apprentice! :D


Chef Torte! The cake's MOVING!


Poke. Poke. Poke.


:X Me and Bundt. I think we could be soulmates, what do ya know? :P


All in all, this was around a four plus day project. It took me two days to do all the work on the cake, plus another two days to finish up Chef Torte and the Apprentice. Bundt is completely edible and made from a lot of stuff I've never used before such as gum paste, and whatever other stuff you make cakes from that I found in the decorating aisle. I make note that before this project I didn't even know how to bake a cake, so I'd say this turned our pretty good since I never have used most of the materials before.

Chef Torte and the Apprentice are completely hand sculpted from Sculpey and I painted the both of them to match their in game colors.

It may have been such a small part in the game, but it will always rank as one of my absolute favorites and it's made me beyond giddy to recreate this scene in cake.

Enjoy! :D

Haha wow Rio. That's really great. I got this sitting on my Virtual Console, still gotta play it all the way though.

Man, you're so talented when it comes to this kinda stuff.

Memories... I loved that game!
How'd it taste?!
Ha ha! People who don't know about Super Mario RPG must have taken one look at this "cake" and figured you for a lunatic.

I would comment with something original, but I looked at Garison's post and I'll say 'ditto'. :O)

Not only would I eat Bundt and Raspberry, I'd also eat Torte and Apprentice if given the chance.

Sculpey is edible. Right? RIGHT?

Damn. I remember that boss being pretty rough. I can't believe you would bring it back to life! Amazing cake though. :p

Wow. That is perfect. It's too bad there aren't a whole lot of other cakes featured in games, because you could have something on your hands.

I would eat it, but like NEBONES, I'm afraid it would try to crawl back up my throat and kick my ass.

Huh. My mom just recently completed her cake decorating classes (Wilton method and all) and then this pops up. She worked with gum paste and fondant and all sorts of other stuff. Took over our kitchen for a couple of months...

But that aside, that is one kick-ass cake. I wanna say it was the first and only cake boss in RPG history, but I could be wrong. It's just...just amazing. XD

This is really, really good. I want to see the little Chef Torte yell furiously at the little apprentice.

That was the first tiem I died in Mario RPG. I'm playing through right now, and it is so much fun.

Also, forget Geno. When is Mallow going to make the big comeback? The time he meets up with his parents and cries is so heartwarming.

That bottom layer looks a lot more happy than it does menacing. Maybe it's the frosting placement on the cake that gives me that feeling. Regardless, it looks great and probably tastes even better.

Nub at the helm there! First off, Geno Boost does nothing when the candles are lit, the cake is immune until you destroy the top half. Second off, you can Timed Hit the Geno Boost in order to get Attack AND Defense Up. Thirdly, there should have been Able Juices used to remove the fear effect of Sandstorm after the top half was destroyed so all characters could do normal damage and defeat it sooner. Fourthly... I'll stop being a dick to random youtube video posters.

However, that bundt cake is amazing! Very good job! How does it taste? Does it make you want to cry? ^_^

That is incredible. I'm stuck at this boss right now! How the hell do you beat it? At least you can actually eat this one.

Well done though, seriously, that must have been so much fun to make, hope it's just as fun to eat.
