Iron Man Cake

At first, my hubby's nephew wanted an edible picture of himself on a cake for his birthday,then he changed his mind and I was glad because am not really a fan of edible colored photocopy. I have nothing against them and will use them to complement my work if I have to, but I just don't consider them artistic enough. I like my art hand made.

Okay, so back to the gist. Josh decided he wanted an iron man cake and herein lied the challenge. I wasn't sure it could be pulled off, but thanks be unto God, after much research and brainstorming this cake surfaced and I was very pleased with the outcome- A delicious vanilla sponge covered in fondant with an edible iron man topper bursting out of it. Victory !
