My friend ask me to do a cake for his Son's 7th birthday party and gave me this picture as a guide!!!! This picture is from Cake with Love from Florida. My first reaction is Crap!!!
This is a fondant cake and I said I don't make fondant cake, so this is my compromise! A three tier 10 lbs Italian Butter Cream Vanilla butter cake. There were tons of challenges here and I learned a great deal from this project.
Cake was 3 tiers of 8 inch x 6 inch x 4 inch with four layers each. 14 inches tall including Thor's hammer. A new product I use is the sugar sheets from Wilton. I used this paper like sheets to create the hair of The Hulk. It was so easy and I gave him a nice haircut.
This Captain America shield was fun. Instead of stacking one circle on top of each other. I choose to cut and in lay the circles making it flat like a shield. I quite like this.

Iron man mask was tough! I couldn't really find anything I like as reference so I made this one based on a few image combined and gave him a cartoony eyes.
Another major challenge was stacking the cake without making the color transferring to the other tier. Also the shields and the mask was heavy and I had trouble attaching it to the cake without it sliding off. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
But overall, this is an Avengers kind of a project! Happy Birthday Jonathan!
