Ben's 8th Birthday: Iron Man Cake

Here are the pictures of Ben's Iron Man Cake. I felt good about this one. The icing was kind of runny, but it still worked! I had to add a lot of red coloring to get the maroon color so I think that is what made it so runny, it was better before I added the color.
