"The Amazing Spider-man Cake and Cupcakes" - 8/12

I made this cake (well, two cakes and a dozen cupcakes) for the same boy I made the "Tow Mater" cake for last year.  This year he wanted an Amazing Spider-man cake!  The main cake was a two-tier vanilla cake with chocolate fudge filling, covered in blue and red fondant.  The buildings were also made of fondant and painted with silver luster dust to add detail.  Both the spiders and webs were made from royal icing and the Spider-man figure at the bottom is an "ultra-poseable" action figure.  It took awhile to find the perfect pose, but I found it and it worked!  ;)
 
 
 
The second cake was a double-layer, 1/4 sheet cake, strawberry w/ cream cheese icing, covered in buttercream.  The Spider-man mask was cut out of fondant. 
 
 
And the finale...cupcakes!
