Batman And Bat Light Cake

Made this for my son's 6th birthday. First up, big thanks go to "klpint" for the awesome cake I modelled this off. Very cool idea! Cake I used was 'Q's favourite Chocolate Cake' recipe off cakecentral. Really moist and yummy, but had to get it out of the freezer for a day to defrost before icing so it wasn't too moist! Got heaps of compliments on the cake so thanks to mjnj for recipe. Used buttercream under fondant and dried fondant for the buildings and batlight oval. Glued everything on with royal icing. Used royal for the writing too. I wrote the name on baking paper over a computer printout. Not sure I'd do that again unless I was sticking it to the cake itself. It was difficult to stick the little bits to the covered cake board but it would work quite well onto icing. This one was dairy-free top to bottom! Batman did overpower the cake a bit but my son wanted the big batman and he helped me place him. Son was pleased as punch, so that's what matters:) He even stood there watching me make it and said "I'm just watching you so I know how to do it when I'm grown up"!
