Coolest Avengers Theme Cake

My son wanted to have an Avengers theme for his 5th birthday party. I searched for a cake idea but couldn’t find quite what I was looking for, however I was inspired to make a cake that had 3 ‘platforms’ for the Avengers – Hulk, Captain America & Iron Man. I had planned to put action figures on the cake too, but liked this the way it came out even with out them.

I bought my first 9 x 9 cake pan, made 2 funfetti cakes and cooled them before taking them to my sister’s where she helped me with the rest. My sister and I made butter cream frosting and put some into a separate bowl to use as our crumb frosting layer. We then frosted the bottom cake before flipping the 2nd upset down on it and frosting it with a crumb layer too.

We then separated frosting into separate bowls to make yellow, red, green and blue. We later mixed red into the blue to make it dark purple for the Hulk border. On the sides of the cake we smoothed the frosting colors on but then my sister added piping to clean the look up. On the Captain America area we piped all the blue before piping white on top to make stars.

* A tip I wish I’d done – shave the top of the cakes off where they bubble up in the center before frosting the bottom one and flipping the top one on. Apparently that makes them lay nice and flat.
