HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE WALL CRAWLER
-warning this post will be a tad bit chaotic and long but hopefully lots of fun. I had fun doing this
In honor of his special day, i decided to make him a birthday cake. 🎂
I’ve had this headcanon that every year on his birthday he loves a chocolate cake with blue icing
So I decided to bake just that
As someone with minimal baking skills
Then gather up all your ingredients. This is the cake mix I used. Once the eggs, water, oil and cake mix were all I needed for mine. Measure everything out and mix until well combined or for at least two minutes on medium. And drink a cup of water while you’re at it. Your body loves water. Not too much or risk water poisoning. Too much of anything can kill ya.
Then go ahead and grease whatever type of pan you’re using and place it in oven. I used mini pans so it can be a layered cake. It smelt so good while baking and then I nearly almost burned because read the instruction on the box. Make sure you read really carefully and use the time they give how big your pan is
I feel like Peter would like a homemade cake though for his birthday. I think it was just something he had while growing up and not coming from a lot. He appreciates it more than a store brought cake. Mainly because he knows someone close to him took time out of their day to make something special for him. Think he just grew up on it and is favorite tradition for his birthday. Plus he probably loves a good rich, moist chocolate. Just big sweet tooth vibes in general from him. He would love going to Hershey, PA and making his own chocolate bar or even just the M&M store to celebrate. His ideal birthday would probably just be something small and intimate. He cares a lot about out his loved ones and spending time with them.
While baking I cleaned up and jammed out to some Taylor Swift. Does anyone else think that Peter would have a hard time getting plastered btw? I think that purely because of his high metabolism. But if he ever does get there oh be prepared.
Anyways back to baking. Grab some white frosting. I had like half a thing left so I only used five drops of blue food coloring to get what I wanted. I say start off slowly and don’t add in a lot at once because can’t take it away.
Once cakes are done take them out and let them cool. If you greased them properly they should pop right out like how mine did. Number one baker over here.
Once cooled down try and level the cakes (thank you very much YouTube bakers for teaching me this)
I don’t have a cool tool like they do is just used a bread knife and hoped for the best
That hope caused me cutting off a but too much from some and not enough from others so was a little lopsided but it gives personality !!!
Then go ahead and frost. Slap that frosting all over the cake until it’s nice and coated
Another trick I learned was a crumb coat. Frost first, stick it in the fridge for a bit and then frost again. I don’t feel like it made that much of a difference but I am a frosting girly so I wasn’t mad
Next, grab your fav lil Spider-Man plush, give him a party hat and light candles in the cake
Lastly, cut yourself a slice and indulge on your favorite spidey movie
