HELP! I've been asked to do a birthday cake for my grandson and another child (girl) with Spiderman and a Princess on the same cake. I need ideas, suggestions on how to accomplish this cake! If I don't do the cake, it will be ordered from Wal-Mart.
My husband suggested Spiderman rescuing the Princess but I'm not sure how to do it.
TIA
Leslie

I need to do a very similiar cake! My nephew and niece (brother/sister) have birthdays a couple of days apart and he wants Spiderman and she wants Snow White. I'm at a loss also. Hope someone has ideas for us!

Wilton has the cake toppers of both Spiderman and the Disney Princess, now I have to figure out how to incorporate them on the top of the cake! You're right, I'm sure we'll get lots of creative ideas from fellow Cake Addicts!

Do a plaque or Buttercream transfer or something of Spiderman swinging down and saving a princess??? Just a thought!

what if you have spiderman slinging webs and the princess with a wand both pointing at the words Happy Birthday and spiderman adds webs to it and the princess adds sparkly glitter or something. Sounds funny but I can visualize it in my head......

Both of those ideas sound great. My husband suggested Spiderman saving the Princess. I've never done a BCT and don't know where to begin . . .
Not sure how I could get the "web effect" and the sparkles but I like it! I, too can visualize in my head. . . can if I could translate to the cake . . .

genean - that was my idea too!!!

How much cake do you actually need?

Could you do tiers, seperated by pillars? Make the top tier with a princess on it and the bottom with spiderman on it.

Or you could do a sheet cake and seperate it from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

I did these two for a birthday on the same day but you might be able to put them together, one on one half and the other on the other half. The spiderman cake is my son's and the princess his best friend. I can't upload pictures but you can see all the ones on my profile and find them there. A princess castle and a spiderman building

You could try a 3D bust cake with the front of the bust being one character and the back of the bust being another. You can find the instructions for a 3D bust cake at the link below if you think it might be something you'd want to try.

Hi, I can't open the link to the instructions. Could someone please copy the instructions and pm them to me. There are a lot of sites, I can't access from China. I would really appreciate the help. Don't ask me why, it just drives crazy
Thanks in advance

Wow Lisa,

thanks a million. I never thought about using styrofoam for the head. We don't have so many how to's on German sites, ever since I've joined this site, I've learnt so much. I'm noticing how my whole way of thinking is changing. Thanks for your fast response, I really appreciate it a lot. Have a wonderful day, it's into the kitchen for me, 6 cakes to make before Monday.
Best regards

Your Spiderman is awesome, Lisa!! I'm short on time for this cake so I will probably do genean's and redhare's idea of Spiderman slinging webs and Disney Princess sprinkling sparkles on a "Happy Birthday" in the center of the cake. The cake will be a 12x16 sheet cake. mmdd, I like your idea of separating the cake on the diagonal. Not sure of my colors yet . . .I promise to post a picture when complete. Somehow, sometime I need to post all of my pictures . . .
Thanx for everyone's help on this. I'll keep you posted. . .

Here is a wonderful idea for a half and half themed birthday cake.........I think it looks very tastefull and makes it easy for each child to imagine they have their "own" cake.........maybe you could do something like this?????

KHalstead, That's what I'm thinking of. . . I'll touch base with my daughter tonight on the particulars.
Thanx,
Leslie
