Spiderman!

As promised, I attempted the Spiderman cake this week. I have to admit, I was pretty impressed by the results. As I began decorating, I realized that I picked a pretty intricate cake to begin my foray into the cake business but overall, I think it turned out pretty well. I learned a few lessons for next time though - I will definitely be sure to grease every inch of the cake pan to ensure that all of the indentations that serve as guidelines when frosting show up on the cake when I remove it from the pan. Also, the star tip I had was a little bigger than the one they recommended so I think I'll be picking up the smaller version. The whole thing took me between 3 and 4 hours, from baking, making frosting, coloring frosting, and decorating. I'm not sure what to charge or how lucrative it will be but either way, I enjoyed doing it and felt quite accomplished when I was finished. I only had a few seconds to take pictures though and then Dave swooped in and ate Spiderman's head.
