It's a Superhero Birthday Party

It's been awhile since I've made a fondant cake, so I was really excited to receive this order. I even used a paneling technique to cover the cake! The technique totally flopped, cuz I ran out of fondant in the middle of the night! But guess what, your girl made it work!

There's a sliiiiight difference of color in the back panel where I mixed some red fondant with some white fondant to get a panel just big enough to finagle it all together. I also used fondant gunge (water mixed with fondant to make a paste) to seal the seam at the top, which I didn't think would work, but thank goodness it did. However, because of the gunge, it looks like I used the draped fondant method instead of the fondant paneling method. Note to self: chill the fondant, flip the cake, and measure everything!

​Also thanks to Manjit for sending over some photos of the cake in its "natural habitat!"
