We celebrated our daughter’s Sweet Sixteen with a “Christmas Movie” Pajama Party with lots of her friends, complete with a Spider-Man Birthday Cake. So much fun!
She argued that Spider Man: No Way Homeis a Christmas movie ❄️🎄🕷️🍿😂— happens at Christmastime, has snow, mentions of a “holiday party” and a “jolly green elf”, and all that… Not sure if I agree—though the recent poll in my Instagram stories had more people agreeing with her than I expected!—but it was definitely a fun theme for her and I enjoyed putting it all together!🎉
I ran across this idea in my google searches for inspiration. I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off, but I was very happy with the results! Here is how I did it in case anyone else wants to try.
How to Make a Spider Man Birthday Cake
Supplies:
- 3 – 8″ Round Chocolate Cakes *
- Chocolate Frosting
- KitKat Candy Bars – I used 6 Regular Size
- M&M’s Minis
- Chocolate Candy Melts
- Super-Man Action Figure
- White Yarn
- Bamboo Skewer (optional)
* I used the remaining batter to make 12 cupcakes.
Directions:
I trimmed the rounded top off of each cake and stacked them with a layer of chocolate frosting between each.
Frosted the outside as well – didn’t need to worry about getting it perfect, most of it was covered with candy.
Start unwrapping all those KitKats…
Using melted Chocolate Candy Melts attach two KitKats at an angle, as well as his webs (white yarn), holding them in place to let harden. Start covering the cake with mini M&M’s as pictured.
If you have some little hands around the house, they are really helpful for attaching all the M&M’s minis to the front of the cake. 😉 The girls really loved getting to help!
Add Spider-Man action figure to the top.
A bamboo skewer worked to make sure he stayed standing, but realized later it wasn’t needed once all the candy melts hardened.
I also broke all the KitKats apart to make them go farther. I used all six that I had purchased. It also made cutting the serving the cake much easier than had they not been broken apart. The birthday girl loved it!
For those familiar with the Spider-Man movies…
Can you guess which of the three Spider-Men is her favorite?
For reference: Her other celebrity “crushes” have been: Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables), Sherlock Holmes and Louis Partridge (Enola Holmes), Tadashi (Big Hero Six), Demetri (Anastasia) and Flynn Ryder (Tangled). She has a soft spot for the thoughtful, tender-hearted, slightly awkward hero!
The three main live-action Spider-Man actors, in order of their first appearance, are Tobey Maguire (2002), Andrew Garfied (2012) and Tom Holland (2016).
Hoping to share more pictures from her party soon!
Happy Sweet Sixteen to our Spidey-loving,
sweet, and spunky girl! 🕷️🕸️❤️
