Avengers Cake & Cupcake Ideas

Making a Multi Tiered Avengers cake will be a lot of fun! You can use all the levels for a different theme of decoration or you can make a movie scenario out of the cake.

• Once you have decided how many tiers of the cake you want, cover the cake with blue or red colored fondant. You can cover whole cake with only one color or use different colors for different tiers.
• Roll out some black fondant and cut out rectangles and towered building for making the buildings. Use small squares cut out of yellow fondant to indicate the windows. We are using black as we want to make a night time scenario.
• Paste the windows on the buildings using gumpaste and similarly cover the lower sides of the lower tier of cake with buildings. If you have made a multi tiered cake, then leave only the top tier and cover all others with the buildings. Make sure you paste them well so they don’t fall off.
• Once you have done the buildings, place the Avengers action figures on the tiers to make them look as if they are in the midst of a fight. Place enemy action figures with the superhero ones in a pose as if they are striking one another.
• Cut out an Avengers logo from gray fondant and place it on top of the cake. This completes your Avengers Movie Scenario cake :)

You can also use each tier of the cake to represent a member of the Avengers team. Cover one tier in red, white and blue stripes for Captain America, Green for Hulk, Red and Yellow for Iron Man & Dark Blue for Thor. Use action figures or toppers on each tier for giving the finishing look.
