I come from a long line of gamers starting with my grandpa. I remember Frogger and Burger Time on Atari followed by the game that can tie most of us back to the earliest days, Super Mario Brothers on the original NES.
I saw pictures of a Mario cake one time and always thought I'd love to make that. Instead I took on the cookies. Maybe someday I will do the cake.
In shaping the cookies I used a circle and an egg shape for the mushrooms and shaped them by hand. They were actually my first attempt at royal icing decorating and I imagine I could make them look much better if I tried them again, but I was pretty happy with the overall result at the time.
