X-Men Themed Dessert

There are many ways you can incorporate the X-Men in your birthday party desserts. Create a clever X-Men themed dessert for the party in one of the following ways:

1. Bake an X shaped cake and frost it to look like the X-Men logo.

2. Bake a regular cake and use a toy Wolverine claw (washed thoroughly, of course) to rake his signature claw marks into the cake. Insert the toy firmly into the cake at the end of the claw marks.

3. Bake a batch of cupcakes and arrange them in the center of the table to look like the X-Men logo.

4. Bake batches of X-shaped cookies with an X cookie cutter, and frost them silver.


The X-Men cookies and cupcakes are a much simpler feat to tackle than the X-Men cake. One tip to make baking the cake easier is to to bake the cake in a long rectangular pan and to slice it into four long rows.

Then, carefully remove the rows from the pan and rearrange them once they are on a large platter into the shape of an X. Finish the cake off with frosting, and no one will know the cake wasn't baked in the shape of an X to begin with.
