Super Mario Bros. never goes out of style and neither has the Mario cake pan. I never understood why Wilton has never brought this cake pan back out of retirement since there is more of a demand for it now then there was when the pan was new, but I obviously don’t work for Wilton! There are tons of different Mario birthday party options, but this one is mandatory!
Like the Star Wars cake pan, this one is rare and can be expensive. That means that you need to spend some time researching your options before making a purchase. Luckily I’ll show you your two best choices below!
It’s frustrating when there is something that you really need, like the Super Mario cake pan, and it’s also a collector’s item. There are people who have had one of these for years and refuse to part with it (like me!), but there are some that are floating around. I was lucky enough to get mine new, but the secondary market is full of them. You can expect to pay around $40 for the Mario Brothers cake pan, so if you find it for less consider yourself a savvy shopper.
Also, the shape of the Mario cake pans is ambiguous between Mario and Luigi, so you can make it whichever you want. I don’t know many people that would make a Luigi cake, but I’m sure that there are a couple out there. One option for that is if you have to make two cakes, and one can be Mario and the other Luigi. If a third cake is needed, check out our Cinderella Cake Pan page and you can probably turn that into a Princess Peach cake.
