We asked our local grocery store to make a Mario Kart birthday cake...

Nowhere near as bad as the stripper Mario cake that says 'Happy 5th Birthday'.

An adult can't enjoy a video game cake? Sounds like some of you miss out on life with these kind of thoughts.
I don't see the problem with the cake. Looks absolutely great for it being frosting. I hope you tipped because they seem to have put a nice amount of attention and effort into it.
And no I am not joking. I've baked and tried to decorate enough cakes myself, and something along the lines of this is no easy task.

I think it looks good, I'd be happy to have a cake that looked like that!

OP is weird - esp after that Walgreens post.
What's wrong with this cake? I actually would be pretty happy for going to a grocery store and receiving that - that's REALLY cool to be honest.
...but again for my 30th :\

Its not about not enjoying video game cake, but getting video game related cake on 30th birthday. Its not some random time in life, its one of the most essential birthdays in Your life actually.

if it's one of the most essential birthdays of your life, then you should be able to celebrate this essential birthday however you feel like it
OP have you ever tried to decorate a cake? It's hard as fuck. That said, there's nothing wrong with that cake.
I'm just not sure what you were expecting from your local grocery store. They seem to have went above and beyond since most grocery store cake decorators are told to only do what's in the book and don't do any copyrighted images/characters that aren't in said book.
Be grateful you got such a great effort from someone who probably had a shitload of other orders that had to be done as well.

i think its pretty good, i would definately apreciate it. its no cheap sticker. the person actualy sat there and drew mario (probably from a picture) with frostingfilled plasticbags.
if it tastes great it would be even better.
and at all the partypoopers. whats so wrong about gettin a cake like that?
its a character op shares a history with. (probably from his childhood)
its HIS 30. birthday, not yours.
and at the guy who ownes a new tag. i loled.

well where did that cake come from? another grocery store?
what was the cost of the cake in comparison to each other?
What makes your 30th birthday more essential than your 29th or 31st? Because we've added value to an arbitrary number? And why is what cake you get important? It's a cake.
Reminds me of that C.S. Lewis quote: "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
The upper one with no figurines would be better than that in op. They could draw a street with finish line and it would be better. The only thing that screams mario kart from OP cake is mario painting. Whole cake should be themed no just part of it. It's lazy job.
So that's a no, then?

i am 42 and I would get a mario cake like the op has. I challenge anybody to come up with a convincing argument that there is anything psychologically unhealthy about getting a cake like that
Are you one of those people who also think game development is just a few easy button presses?
Because you seem to have no idea how much effort it takes to get a result half as good as the cake in the OP.

You're right, he should have decorated it with highly detailed miniature figures of mario kart characters. Ones that he would have had to bought online out of his own pocket. Since it's pretty unlikely he would have them readily available upon the slight possibility of a mario themed custom birthday cake. Then proceeded to create intricate candy props suggesting an incredible familiarity with the intellectual property.
Using that knowledge; him, together with his amazing skills at molding, shaping, and coloring candy clay figurines suggesting a wealth of experience in the art of clay modeling, possibly animation, and also along with his obvious mastery of baking begins, bakes, and gives you the final product...You wonder to yourself looking into Mario's oddly tasty vacant expression,...what could he possibly have messed up so badly to end up making cakes in a backroom corner of the local grocer's?....but quickly feel like he was most likely just lazy; since he couldn't even set the cake on top of a painted mario themed edible candy stage. Accompanied by a completely fully modeled track that has an intricate candy road. That he could've drawn out in the back of the grocery store using his old sketchbook from culinary school. It's where he keeps all the handmade cake props he custom makes for every cake he get's the pleasure of making.
Because every cake, is like making pleasure...to yourself.
Edit: Man, I'm bad at grammar today. Fixed some dumb punctuation. And added a few words...

Lazy? What they did took more work than piping some grass and sticking toy cars on top. It may not look as nice but it certainly wasn't easier to make I bet.

Both of those have a few specialty tips for the icing, a fuckton of fondant for all of the flat and smooth parts which is expensive and hard to use and not something a grocery store carries, and Mario figurines to boot which definitely would not be in store. Top one probably took five manhours to create and the bottom one ten. "Lazy" my ass.

The main difference between the cake in the OP and most of the other cakes people are posting is that you can actually eat the OP cake.
The others? Well..good luck
