Spidy Face!

Spidy Face! on Cake Central

This was for my brother's bday...he is 17 and LOVES spider man! lol This was just an 8" cake that I covered with whipped buttercream...this kind of bc always gives me trouble...but I think it turned out well. Oh! I hate black frosting! too messy! But, I like it. Thanks for looking! All comments are welcome...I am Critique Subgroup member :D

Critique Subgroup Member: I love the cake, smooth, and colors look great. It's hard to tell in a picture, but maybe the edges of the cake board could have been a little neater, but overall great cake!

Critique Subgroup Member. Your red looks great. It looks like you might be missing one string of the web on the far right side. The rest of the spacing looks good.

Critique Subgroup Member: I love the cake, as do my 2 boys! They are huge spidey fans! You did a great job and if it wasn't for ac2steachk pointing it out I wouldn't have even noticed the missing string in the web :D P.S. great job on the smooth icing!

Critique subgroup member: Your icing is so smooth. The idea is fun, but looking at this cake I get the idea you just started piping without measuring or layout your web pattern. There is some oddness in the connecting points in the front also. Your eyes are great. Push down your dot borders and get rid of the little points. Your board is well done. Hard colors to work with in red and black but you got the hue down pat. I bet your brother adored this cake and loved you for making it!

critique subgroup member: awesome idea! your icing is very nice and smooth! I think you did a great job on the lines, they are nicely piped, and cake board pulls everything together. great job!

Critique subgroup member: I think you did a great job! Definately two difficult colors to work with. The eyes look great but I would have tilted then in more to give it a sharper look. Other than that It's fantastic!!!

Critique Subgroup Member: I think it's awesome! great work on getting the colors so rich and dark- VERY hard to do!

critique subgroup member: Nice job on spidey! How did you get such a deep red with whipped icing? It may be the picture angle, but it looks like the web on the sides are straight lines, maybe a little more curved would look more web-like.

critique subgroup member: I love how smooth your icing is, it's perfect! Your lines are straight, which is something I can't do. I do agree that the spacing could be better, and maybe the horizontal lines could be curved a little. I love the whole idea, it's really cute and simple, even if decorating it wasn't. Great cake ;-D

Critique group member: Very cool! I am sure he loved it! The only thing I would suggest is too have used a bigger cake board and then written "Chris" there instead of on the cake.
