We were commissioned by six year old Elijah to create his Marvel birthday cake. He requested that his four favourite superheroes, Ironman, Spiderman, Hulk and Captain America to be featured on his two tiered cake.
Elijah's Marvel Avengers birthday cake
As we prefer our cakes to be uncluttered with clean lines and high tiers, our challenge was to fit all four characters without cramping up the two-tier cake.
The birthday boy advised his mum to tell us that his favourite of the four characters were Captain America and Ironman, whilst Spiderman was his least favourite of the four.
We decided that hulk was easiest and most striking on the top of the cake, Captain America on the largest tier and Ironman on the top tier. But where to put Spiderman?
To keep options open, we made the cake board and Ironman tier red, to allow us to play around and decide where to put Spidey.

The end result?
What do you think? Where would you have put Spidey? Which design do you prefer?
Happy 6th birthday, Eli!
