“Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can . . . spins a web . . . something, something . . .”

Obviously I should work on my theme song lyrics before trying to sing them to you. 

The new Spiderman movie, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is coming out in a couple of weeks, and I’m super excited to see it.  I think that’s because I spent hours watching the 80’s cartoon version at home with my brother. I’m one of those nostalgic type people who usually prefers the original version over the new, revamped versions of old shows, but in this case, I’m super excited to see the new effects that are worked into the current version!  As a kid I always wanted web-shooters, and to be able to climb up buildings to see what was on top.  But, instead what I got as an adult is Spider-man cake pops. 

These cake pops are a tad bit tedious and will definitely take some time to put together.  You may not want to make a 100 of these, but 12 would be manageable.  There are a number of other ways to make the web on the mask of the cake pop, but I found the most clean version was to use fondant.  You could try it with melted chocolate, but I don’t usually have luck with precision work when it comes to melted chocolate on top of cake pops.  I prefer to use that combination when things can be a little messier. 

I hope that you find this tutorial workable for your Spiderman project!
