Metallic Superhero Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Korean Iron Man Cake Fights Evil and Looks Delicious

— April 28, 2013 — Life-Stages
You know that the hype train for a given property is officially operating under full steam when the property gets its own cake, and this Iron Man cake is right on schedule.

The highly anticipated superhero film starring Robert Downey Jr. is right around the corner, so what better way to celebrate than with a delicious looking Iron Man cake? Unfortunately for superhero fans outside of South Korea, this Paris Baguette creation is only available in the Asian nation. Beyond being awesome for the mere fact that this is an Iron Man cake with incredibly detailed buildings and a suspended Iron Man, once the cake is consumed, the package turns into a wearable Iron Man facemask.

If I could smuggle one of these Iron Man cakes into the theater for a screening of the sequel, I'd be in comic book geek heaven.

3. Pop Culture Foodstuffs - There is a rising trend for food companies and restaurants to create pop culture-inspired dishes or treats for fans of movies, TV shows, and video games.
