It was Kenji's birthday today. And do you know who else shares his birthday? My stinkin' youngest brother Taylor! He's 17 years old!!!! AHHHH!!!! CRAZY!!!!!

How to make a spiderman cake head. As told by an amateur who has never attempted it.

This should be interesting...

Step one: Get some cake and form it into a block.

Step two: form a basic shape out of said block.

Step three: Try desperately to make that block into a recognizable human head.

Step four: Trim, trim, trim! I noticed his head was a little too big and round. Like a lightbulb!

Well, it still kind of looked like a lightbulb when it was all said and done, but we won't get in to that...

Step 5: Add a nose. I made just a rough little nose because, as you can see in the pictures, Spiderman's mask hides most of his features and squishes his nose down quite a bit.

Step 6: Cover in fondant. I was running out of time at this point, so it was a quick job and there's a whole ton of bumps and rips, but I really didn't care. The piping helped hide that anyway.

Step 7: remember to have someone take a picture of a very tired, basically demolished you when you're finished.

Step 8: Pipe on that frosting! This was a really quick job. Maybe 4-5 minutes worth of piping. Those kids were anxious! I probably would have tried to make the piping a lot cleaner...and make sure the eyes were the same size, but hey! It's cool right?

And there you have it. Cake. Spiderman Cake.

Happy Birthday Little Chenny :) Oh, and you too, Tay. If you would ever read my blog.

I forgive you though. Since it's your birthday and all. :)
