11 Cakes Inspired by Comic Books
Last month we brought you cakes inspired by famous painters, so this time around, let's look at cakes based on a more contemporary art style: comic books.
1. Spider-Man Groom
One of Cake Central user MissRobin’s clients ordered this groom’s cake for her son, who has always been a Spider-Man fan. The idea of a suit over the classic costume is great, especially in a heart-shape, but the chocolate-covered strawberries are what caught my eye – yum!
2. Baby Spider-Man
Think Spider-Man is too grown up for a three-year-old’s birthday party? No problem. Just make Spider-Man and three of his biggest enemies into adorable baby versions of themselves like Tracy of Little Cherry Cake Company did here.
3. Batman
If your favorite thing about Batman is the way he prowls and spies from the rooftops of Gotham, then you’ll certainly appreciate House of the Rising Cake’s take on the legendary Dark Knight.
4. Bat Tumbler & Bat Pod
Of course, if you prefer Batman’s awesome toys, then you’ll probably prefer this cake. While I can’t tell you if Paige and Nathan had a geeky wedding, they certainly had a somewhat geeky wedding rehearsal if they decided to serve this awesome cake by Piece of Cake, featuring two of Batman’s best vehicles, at their rehearsal dinner.
5. Batmobile
It’s best to keep an eye on this cake by Custom Cakes By Susan. After all, if Batman notices it’s missing, he might just drive it home with a remote control before you even have a chance to enjoy a slice.
6. Wonder Woman
While I believe the character on top is one of those adorable Pop! Vinyl Toys, the rest of the cake was most certainly custom made and the design by Bluebird Cakes, from the stars to the lasso to the gold headband, perfectly reflects Wonder Woman’s iconic costume.
7. Wonder Woman
The great thing about this Wonder Woman cake by famous Charm City Cakes isn’t the character’s sultry, yet sweet, cartoon face, but instead the fact that she is rising from the pages of a comic book, which is what all comic book heroes must do at some point or another if they want to succeed.
8. Captain America
Chocolate Moose Cakes definitely has their own style when it comes to superheroes.
9. Hulk
Here’s another unique hero design by Chocolate Moose Cakes. I love how cartoonish Hulk’s face looks in this one -- and of course his two tiny green nipples only make the design that much more charming.
10. Variety Pack
Can’t decide on your favorite superhero or even between D.C. and Marvel? Well then, this great cake from It’s A Piece of Cake is a good compromise, allowing you to celebrate with all of your favorite costumed crime fighters.
11. Super Kiddo
The girl behind Nerdache Cakes calls herself a dedicated fangirl, so it’s no wonder she’s come up with so many great geek treats. Of all her impressive delicacies though, this might be the best superhero creation, as it features bad guys, Spider-Man, Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, a little old lady and the birthday boy dressed as a superhero!
While they might not technically be cakes, Nerdache Cakes has also created quite a few great comic-book-inspired cupcakes, including Deadpool, Loki, Thor, Bane and Batman.
