Another special boy turned 4 last month and I was so happy that I was asked to make his cake. Especially a superhero cake. I had just purchased some cutters that would be perfect for the cake. Etsy is an amazing site to shop on.
This three tiered (8, 6, and 4 inch) was all vanilla which I didn't start until almost 10pm the night before. Mr. T stayed up until almost 2am keeping me company. At about 3am is when I started to put everything together. It was awesome to see it come together. I went to sleep at 4am extremely pleased with the outcome.
For the Hulk's fist, this was one of the cutters I bought. I cut out two fists to join them together with toothpicks in between so that I could stick it on the top of the cake. I made this first, and then with the impression mat pressed it into the cut out to get all the details. I left this to harden over night.
For Spiderman, with a black edible marker I drew on the spiderweb. The spider cutter was too think to get the spider out of fondant, especially with the black fondant being very wet. After one fail, I decided to roll out the fondant and then pressed the cutter into it but not all the way through. I let it sit for about half an hour to dry out. Then I went at it with a surgical knife to trim off all the excess. It worked amazing. I love the spider!
For Superman, I added his red cape off to the right. The superman cutter is a two part process. One for the yellow background and one for the red S symbol.
For Batman, he got his black cape to the left. The batman cutter is a two part process as well.
The cutters made all the difference to me. I love how everything turned out.
Jaxson came with is parents to pick up his cake on Sunday morning. His exact words after seeing it were, "I want that." I was thrilled.
I went for a nice nap afterward!

The decorating is based on a picture that Meghan had sent me.
