Batman

This is my youngest son's 5th birthday cake.  He is crazy about Batman and this will be his 2nd Batman party in a row.  This is a 10 inch round, one layer vanilla butter, one layer chocolate, with air-dried fondant sky scrapers, and a modeling chocolate/fondant bat signal in the "sky".  The blue buttercream was made with my usual recipe (1 cup butter, 1 cup shortening, 2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup milk, 2 lbs. powdered sugar), and it took 1/2 ounce of Wilton royal blue icing color to achieve that shade of blue.  Batman is a happy meal toy.  The idea for this cake came from cakecentral.com.
