The Blot's Super Powers Batmobile Groom's Cake

One of the hardest decisions The Blot had to make during the wedding planning process was deciding what my groom’s cake should be. After making a long list of ideas, I narrowed it down to three things, then two, but ultimately chose what you see below: a Batmobile cake!

Now this isn’t just any old Batmobile, it an exact replica of the Batmobile from Kenner’s Super Powers toy line (circa 1994), and it turned pretty amazing if I do say so myself. As a little kid I was already reading DC Comics religiously, so when Kenner started producing the Super Powers toy line in the mid 1980s I naturally became obsessed with them. Plastic toys with fabric capes and real punching action (by squeezing their legs together) were more than 5 year old Blot could have ever asked for.

I felt like this version of the Batmobile was a perfect representation of me, combining my two hobbies (comic books and toys) into the perfect edible treat. Not only did it look cool, but it also tasted delicious too. A big thanks goes out to Nadine Moon and the fine folks at Who Made the Cake! for all making us the perfect groom’s cake!
