Batman and Superman Cakes and Justice League Cupcakes




One of my best friend's little boys is obsessed with superheroes, so we went all out with the Justice League for his third birthday!  I did some research on the Justice League and found the logos on the cupcakes seen below.  I knew Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, and the Flash, but I had no idea who was represented by the red "x."  It turned out the parents didn't know either!  This little boy had two parties, so for his actual birthday I made the Batman cake out of yellow cake with black and yellow buttercream icing.  The friend party used the Superman cake and all the Justice League cupcakes.  Yellow cake with red, blue, and yellow buttercream icing made up the Superman cake, while yellow cake with yellow, black, chocolate, red, gold, green, and white buttercream icing decorated the Justice League cupcakes.  This was one of my favorite cake projects so far because the colors were so vibrant!  See below for the total cost:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x 5.5 = $14.03
2 Yellow 8" Cakes and 36 Yellow Cupcakes: $1.93 x 2.5 = $4.83
Foils: $5
Wrapping and Plating: $4.88
Labor: $6.00 per hour x 6= $36
Total: $64.74
