Hannah's Mario Kart Cake (12th 2016)

First off, yes yes, NMPO is way off, it was 4 am and I was in a hurry, we didn't notice until halfway through the party, oops :). This is our Stranger Things cake for our daughter's 13th birthday. We combined elements of seasons 1 and 2 but had to downsize the scale due to time this year. We purchased the children to fight the demodogs and be chased by the demogorgon. Sorry no Hopper, Joyce, Nancy, Steve, Max or Jonathan. Technically neither scene from the show actually happens this way but whatever. The cake is set in the junk yard and the upside down from the show. Will is being chased by the demogorgon and a tentacle from shadow monster. Eleven, Mike, Dustin and Lucas are fighting demodogs in the junk yard. Dustin is trying to feed d'Artagnan a 3 Musketeers bar. The cake itself is a very simple flat design (exactly 6 box cakes with no waste left over) covered with buttercream and yucky fondant. We purchased the kids and demogorgon and my wife made the tentacle (felt, spring and thermoplastic) and demodogs (clay). We also purchased the cars and bus then modified to look like the show. The trees in the upside down are train model trees and were hot glued and painted. The upside down has nothing edible. There are 5 servos and 4 timing motors moving the characters. My daughter did the crayon drawings of the tunnels for the wall. We had black light on the upside down half of the party, it gave it a nice pop. The shadow monster was printed in sections and glued to the base. All in all, we really liked the cake, but maybe next time we can go bigger with more stuff!
