This was the hit of the party!  Basically what you do is bake 2- 10" cakes and 2- 9" cakes (I also baked a sheet cake for this to sit on so that it would feed more people). Ice in crusting buttercream. Take one of the 9 cakes and fourth it. Stack these together (secure with toothpicks) to form the shoulder and then attach them to the left side of the 10 cake using buttercream as glue. Do the same with the other 9 cake and attach to the right side to form the other shoulder. Ice the shoulders in buttercream also. Now for the head: purchase a Styrofoam head (that holds wigs) from a beauty supply store (bought mine for only $2.99 at Sallys Beauty Supply). Stick a skewer or craft/popsicle stick (I actually used a plastic butter knife) into the bottom of the head and then push the head down into the 10 cake using the skewer (or whatever you used) to secure the head to the cake. I also added toothpicks around the side of the head to better secure it to the cake. Then ice the head as well. After the icing crusts, smooth out the buttercream icing and then using red spray food color in the cans, cover the entire cake until it is the desired shade of Spiderman red. It took me about 3 bottles to accomplish this. Now to decorate the cake with a head to look like Spiderman: I used Printmaster again and found a picture of Spidermans eyes and enlarged them to lifelike size, printed this out and then cut them out. I then pushed them into the Styrofoam head and then removed them so that there was an imprint that I could use to outline his eyes in black icing (from a tube that looks like toothpaste) and then fill with more white buttercream. I then used the same black tube icing to form the webs all over Spiderman (using pictures and a Spiderman plush toy as a guide). Boy, was that aggravating and nerve-racking! But with much prayer, I got it done (thank you, Lord). Everyone at the party loved this cake! Especially my birthday boy who kept sneaking a peek at what was supposed to be a surprise cake! And my 2-year-old daughter who kept saying Mama, hes looking at me (and then proceeded to play peek-a-boo with Spidey).
