I was going through my pictures and decided to share some favorite birthday cakes that I have made.
My technique has improved as time has gone by....they're not quite as lop-sided as John's Spiderman cake. But, look at that sweet face - that was one excited 4 year old!
This baseball cake was made for a friend's son. I made a yellow cake on the bottom for the base and cut the glove out of a round chocolate cake. I tried my best to make a baseball from a snowball snack cake, but it just wasn't working. I used a real baseball instead.
This was Josiah's 3rd birthday cake. All he wanted for his birthday was candy, so I made a double layer chocolate round cake with a very thin layer of chocolate icing and covered it with Kit Kats and M&M's. The bow was just cute and helped the Kit Kats stay in place.
This picture is actually for my friend's daughter's baby shower, but I really like how it turned out. It's two pumpkin bundt cakes stacked on top of each other and drizzled with a simple glaze.
Sorry about this picture quality. This is from Josiah's 2nd birthday. Mickey Mouse cupcakes. Cupcakes with Oreo ears. Simple.
This is an example of my "easy cake". I ordered the icing sheet from EBay and put it on top of a sheet cake. I think it's just as good as a bakery cake and it takes very little time to make. It fed over 30 people with leftovers for less than $20.
Even with the cost of the icing sheets, it's still a better price to make our own birthday cakes.
I love to see their faces light up when they see what I've made them.
Try it for your next party!
Here's a closer look at Spiderman:

I maybe needing to make a Spiderman cake. How did you make yours and do you have any closer pics of it? Also any other suggestions for Spiderman cakes?
Thank you,

It's a double layer, iced white, then iced red on top. I piped the edged and added a the edible cartoon icing sheet that I bought on ebay. Then I made black circular lines with icing and conneted them to look like a web. The 4 and stars are all glitter foam board from AC Moore that I cut out and attached to white florist wire. I curled the wire around a pencil to make it look springy. Finally I added a Spiderman candle from AC Moore to the top.
The foam cut outs took the most time. Also, if you use an icing sheet, put it in the freezer for a few minutes first to get it off the backing easier.
My son loved this cake. The icing sheets make it look a lot harder than it was.
Good luck with your Spiderman cake and thanks for looking at mine.
