I only mention it about a dozen times in my video, but remember, THIS IS A CAKE *DECORATING* CONTEST, not a cake tasting contest.
That being said, I've had a sneak peek at Matthew's creation and I do have to give him credit. For trying.
I kid. Honestly, I think his cake turned out amazing. Albeit just a smidge less amazing than mine, of course. But it doesn't really matter what I think - it's about what you think.
Vote in the comments section AFTER seeing both my masterpiece AND Matthew's.
The rules were simple: Create a Mario Bros themed cake.
There is no shiny golden trophy up for grabs; no cash reward or giant cardboard check to be handed out - just a heaping helping of mad street cred which either of us will gladly accept.
Without further ado, here's my creation:

All I can say is, you've got one lucky kid! When birthday party time comes around, I call up the grocery store bakery. Great job to both of you, and I loved your blue icing (fondant?).

I voted for Matthew but my twin boys who are true Mario fans voted for yours if that counts.

I am going to copy this and paste it at Matthew's place too.
I am a little torn on this one. On one hand, I think I should go with the cake I like the best. On the other, I feel like I should be all nice and go with the person who I have known the longest. Or as his SIL said, the pity vote. Ahem. Sorry Matthew.
Megan, I think your cake looks better. Colors are brighter, cake looks a bit more Mario-ish. You both did great though. A zillion times better than I could have done.

As I said to Matthew, I thought you were going to hand him his ass on a cake serving platter, but he did very well. I liked his video, but your cake was my favorite. I liked the strong Mario Bros. colors and all of the different characters. My vote goes to you!
I did post at both places, hope that doesn't screw up your tally.

OMG! Megan, you are the cake queen. The little turtles and mushroom guys came out so cute!

I prefer the chocolate cake because you can eat it with coffee or milk and the flavor is better than the other one. the ingredients are simple so the preparation is really fast.
