Made an ambitious cake and very much regretting not taking pictures of it before transporting it to the party. Word of advice to anybody trying to make fancy attachments to a cake for the first time. Always take your pictures before transport. If you can make it work, assemble the layers at location to avoid structural failure. And even a short trip out into the summer heat to move the cake is gonna make your frosting start to melt. Which is bad when it's acting as the glue holding your cake together.
Tried making the mansion from the first Luigi's Mansion for my nibling's birthday. Obviously had to take some liberties like the missing chimneys and the door access on the roof, but the cake would have been too tall for my container. And obviously the colors are little wonky because food coloring mixing is a finicky science and I only had so much time and frosting to test out colors. Oh well, the cake was enjoyed. And I got them Luigi's Mansion 2 HD for their present.
Oh and the first 3 picture were taken by my sister. You can tell because they're off centered. But she was able to get her phone faster than me when we noticed the cake was starting to fall apart. We tried to save it with toothpicks, but it was too far gone.
