Spiderman Birthday

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.
