276/365 Super Hero Squad Birthday Cake

This is the cake I made for my son's 5th b-day. He wanted Super Hero Squad and I already had the little Wolverine car toy set. On the package is a blue and black city scape - so I thought of this!

 

Store bought cake. Added the black fondant road. Buildings made of Rice Krispies. The 2 on the left were a homemade batch that I formed and shaped myself. I needed more and remembered I had bought a big box of the pre-packaged kind for the kids lunchbox so opened about 9 or 12 of those and stacked those up for the bldg on the right.

 

I had planned on covering them w/ fondant but I think mine was too old and a bit dry because it kept cracking so buttercream it was! I was going to try the paper towel method of smoothing the buttercream but I waited too long. My husband went to the store to get the Viva after I started frosting so they sat at least 30 min and crusted too much so not quite smooth!

 

I think it lacked some lines on the road but I did not want Wolverine driving on 2 lanes ;)

 

Some of the blue frosting got messed up in transit so that became Hulk's shock wave from jumping on the ground!

 

The kids thought it was AMAZING!!
