Hulk / Iron man / Cpt. America / Thor Cupcakes 復仇者聯盟樂高小蛋糕

Related to my other Lego Superhero cake post I have only 2-3 hours each day to finish a 8 inch 3D cake along with 48 cupcakes with toppers. I definitely use the first few hours to finished the cupcakes toppers first. They can be storable and they are better to be leave out to harden before applying to the cupcakes. I finished them 5 days before the order due date.

I made 40 cupcakes with toppers and 8 extra ones with only buttercream. So 4 of each kind of characters.

I draft the Iron man head and outline it on top of fondant. The way of making the fist is the same as Iron man. Draft the outline in parchment paper and outline it on the fondant. Then cut it with knife or tool. Then I use edible pen to outline the fist and fingers detail.

I made Captain America shield, Hulk fist, Thor hammer and Iron man face.
