Super Hero Cake!
This super hero cake was for Mark who turned 5 along with his twin sister Gianna (from previous post). Just like Gianna, Mark also had a special request for his cake. He wanted Incredible Hulks fist coming out of the top.
This cake was an 8" chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling. I placed the Spiderman, Superman, and Batman logo all around the side of the cake. The logos were made by printing out each logo and cutting them out of a piece of paper, which I used as a stencil. I then took each stencil and placed it on top of my fondant and cut out each shape with an X-Acto knife.
The Incredible hulk fist was a little bit of a challenge for me since I am not a sculptor. I attempted making it a couple of times and this was the best I came up with. I ended up shaping a stub with gum paste and rolling out fingers to form a fist. Then I covered the entire piece with fondant and smoothed it down to make it look like it was sculpted.
The mini cupcakes had matching mini logos to match the cake.
