My friend, Kalynn, loves Mario, so I made these for her, for her birthday. I found it really fun to do and would definitely do it again. I hope anyone who tries this, has fun.

I used pillsbury because it's the cheapest and mom was buying it for me. The picture shows all the ingredients I used. The liquid in the jug all the way to the left is vegetable oil.
I separated it into four different bowls after I mixed it all together.
I added the food coloring and mixed them individually.
I then put them into baking cups, one color at a time, and made weird patterns.
I baked them and waited for them to cool down for about an hour. I mixed the icing as I waited. I bought duncan hines icing, because, again, it was cheapest and mom was supplying everything. I used green icing coloring and made green icing, and the standard white was perfect right out of the jar.
I used an icing spreader to spread the icing around the tops of the cupcakes. A knife would work if you don't have a spreader.
The white icing went into an icing tube, which you can purchase at general stores for pretty cheap. I piped the white icing onto the cupcakes in circles.
After each cupcake looks like a 1Up, you're ready to arrange them. I was taking them to my friend for her birthday, so I just made 17 of the 1Ups, because she was turning 17, and then put her name on the rest. It was the perfect amount for me. I hope yours turn out rad. =] Good Luck and have fun.
