My friend and hairdresser Franc asked me to do a cake for his friend Philip's Halloween birthday party. All he said was it was a Halloween party and it was a Super Hero themed party. I knew that Marvel and DC both did a zombie series...but I wanted to personalize the cake a bit. Philips was going as Flash Gordon and his partner, Ray, was going as Captain America. I chose to add in Wolverine and Spider-Man because they are personal favorites of mine. I would have preferred to do a fondant cake - so that I could make the "ground" look more like a graveyard, but they don't like the taste...so, I went with a non-dairy whipped topping. Not as exciting or gory, but still a cool cake...and here's the result!
I made the fondant figures first, let them dry and harden...then hand painted them. Here are before and after shots:
Zombie Captain America
(the star was added later to his shield)
Zombie Flash Gordon
Zombie Wolverine
Zombie Spiderman
I wish you could see his spine - it's being pulled out and has bright green pus oozing out!!!
Poor Spidey lost his leg...
