Sally, Liam's mom, told me that Liam was very disappointed when she brought a car cake to his birthday celebration at the daycare. He told his Dad that he wants a spiderman cake and not a car cake.
So when I arrived at the party with his cake, Liam was very ecstatic. He was so happy to see that finally his wish to have a spiderman cake came true.
He actually does not want anyone to eat the cake/cupcakes. Very funny kid.
Cupcake Toppers:
The cupcake toppers were made two weeks in advance.
I worked on them while watching TV about 1-2 hours per day, not everyday though.
So I made three dozen circles using a circle cutter and I let them dry for a day.
The next night using a food writer pen, I painted the cobwebs.
The same with the spiderman heads, I made three dozen heads using fondant with tylose powder.
To make the heads, get about a 1-1/2 inch ball of fondant, roll it with your palm to form the head shape.
Let it dry for about a day.
The next night, I painted the cobwebs.
For the spiderman's eyes, cut out the black and white using the smallest petal cutter.
For the spiders, i made two small balls flatten them to make the head and body.
Roll thin fondant to make the legs.
I really wanted this figure to look close to how spiderman looks.
I started with the legs and the waist using blue sugarpaste and the red for the chest/arms and boots.
Here are the stages:
I baked four 9 x 9 inch cake and one 9 x 13 inch cake Thursday night and double wrapped the cakes in plastic wrap and placed them in the refrigerator.
Friday night, I was mutli-tasking.
I was assembling the cakes while baking three dozen cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla cupcakes)
I crumbcoated the cakes with Italian Meringue Buttercream and Chocolate Ganache.
I filled each layer with Cream Cheese buttercream.
I was so engrossed that I did not noticed the time. Finished decorating the cake around 3AM.
Saturday morning, I put the finishing touches (such as stars, cobwebs, blinking lights) on the cake.
I also piped each cupcakes with blue strawberry flavored IMBC frosting and placed the toppers.
All my hardwork paid off upon seeing Liam's reaction.
Love it!
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY LIAM!
