I started out my cake by making the cake itself reflect the superhero colors. Batman was Chocolate and Yellow cake layered, while Superman had Blue and Red swirled and sprinkled. The outside was supposed to have the superhero symbol attached to the front made out of fondant. The overall cake layers and the bottom level of both symbols went well, but my fondant was too runny to get the symbol fronts to come out right and keep their shape. After multiple sad tries, I gave up and cut out my paper patterns and attached them to the cake. (Hey, it was late and I was tired!)
Micah loved it, but I think in the future I am going to have to work with my fondant more to get a recipe that will stand up to small, detail work. It may also require me to purchase some specialty tools as I don't have the tiny points needed for sharp edges on the fondant.
