Spiderman Cake

This Spiderman Cake was made for my son's 4 th B'day.It Turned out Really Good as i Expected.I used a Box Cake Mix and a 9 inch round cake pan.After i let it cool completely i trimmed the edges off to get the spiderman face.I then filled the cake and Crumb coated the cake with Buttercream Icing.I used Marshmallow fondant which i made a day before to cover the cake.Then i painted the face with red gel food coloring.With the help of a Toothpick i just drew the spider lines.The End Result was REally Amazing.Overall My Son was so excited to see the SPIDERMAN Cake.The Recipe For the Marshmallow Fondant is Listed Below:

Marshmallow Fondant:
-------------------------------

1 (16 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
2 pounds confectioners' sugar, divided
1/4 cup water
Vegetable Shortening To Grease your Hands from sticking

Method:
-----------

Place the marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute to start melting the marshmallows. Carefully stir the water into the hot marshmallows, and stir until the mixture is smooth. Slowly beat in the confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Reserve 1 cup of powdered sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.

Rub your hands thoroughly with Shortening, and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes.

Form the fondant into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. To use, allow the fondant to come to room temperature, and roll it out onto a flat surface dusted with confectioners' sugar.
