Our eldest grandson turned 5 on Sept. 15. He loves Spiderman.
This cake design was taken from a poster I found on Google.
I used a 13x9 cake, three layers high and one-half of the large egg pan for his head.
I created inserts for the 13x9 pan, so when the cake was cut, his inside would be blue and red checkerboard. The blue was colored white cake and the red was red velvet. Fresh Raspberry compote was used as filling between the three layers.
I first carved the shape, crumb coated it and chilled it several hours. I then covered the cake in blue and red fondant. Again chilling several hours. I then cut out the spider for his back and rolled approximately 6 strings of fondant at a time. By the time I had rolled out the 6th string the first one was stiff enough to handle easily. It took considerable time to put the web on his suit.
Our grandson was so excited. We all had a great time watching him celebrate with his favorite super hero. Happy Birthday Asher!!!
