My nephew turned 12 over the weekend and he requested for a Spiderman
cake. I happily agreed but little did I know that making superheroes
aren’t as straightforward as they seem. The first Spidey that I made
turned out too big for the cake, and then it fell apart when I tried to
adjust it. The second Spidey, half the size of Spidey 1 seemed a little
bit better. Let me just add that drawing Spidey’s attire with black food
ink isn’t as fun as it seems. Or maybe I need a little bit more
practice. :)
My orange butter cake with orange buttercream frosting is covered by
brown fondant, with a city scene all around. I love how the contrasting
yellow windows pop up and make the cake stand out even more. For a
little fun factor, I added in a crescent moon and tiny stars. Spidey is
climbing up the side of the cake and I have white spiderweb on the top,
with Mark’s name written in freehand.
