Superhero Cake

My boys haven't see this one, yet, but I am sure they will have a fit over it!  It is for a little boy's 2nd birthday party.  It was so fun to make!  Tried a couple of new things this time; 1- by using foam board as a base... I like it so far... much easier to cut to size than cardboard, and seems to hold it's shape well (not bend like cake boards), and 2-covered the cake board in a plastic tablecloth... simply b/c the base needed to be red and there were no other viable options locally.... this turned out to work perfectly, in my opinion.  The bottom tier is a 10-inch round in chocolate, the top tier is cut from a 9x13" sheet cake (cut in half, stacked then carved into the Superman logo shape).  It is covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant.  The spiderweb on the base is black buttercream icing.
