Spiderman Cake

Another year, another cake. Knowing that the subtleties of a made-from-scratch cake would be lost on preschoolers, I took the easy way out and made a double batch of yellow cake mix in a 15 inch round pan.

We carved away excess to shape the head then did a simple vanilla frosting with about three gallons of red food coloring. White and black piped accents and voila! Spiderman.

I think he liked it.

That is a LOT of food coloring, but I think it came out very nice! I also like the other cakes you have made in the past, very creative!

Okay, maybe it wasn't three gallons but it seemed like it as I kept dumping more and more food coloring in. The frosting went from white to pink to Spiderman. Maybe it was my imagination, but I swear I could taste the food coloring itself in the final cake.

been there--worth all the work, definitely, but red doesn't taste good!

Kealohi, speaking of the work, each year I say to myself that I will make the next year simpler. By the time the next birthday finally rolls around, I've forgotten my good sense and do it all over again.
