The cake is 65″ and 4.5″ high. This makes the scale of one “block” (Mario, a block, a Goomba, a flower, etc.) only 1/3″ high. Hope your eyesight is good and your hands steady!

Step #1:
- You can make the cake to any scale you want, but if you use the same one I did, you'll get a 65" long cake that's 4.5" high with a 1/3" block scale. By "block," I mean the measuring unit of everything Mario. A block of bricks is one block, which is also the size (or multiplier thereof) of most other things. That means each little item you carve out of fondant will have to fit within a 1/3" square.
- Use the image linked in the guide to place pieces on the cake. All the images here were first attacked by hungry players.
