Scouring the Web we’ve found some amazing Spiderman birthday cakes, and using a very comprehensive analysis and ranking system (OK, maybe not!) we’ve listed 10 of the top Spiderman Birthday Cakes for you to enjoy. They’re not ranked in any particular order, so make sure you check them all out. Some of these cakes were professionally made, there’s no question about it, but we’ve made sure to include enough variety for those of you that want to tackle a Spider-man cake at home.
And please visit our Ultimate Guide to a Spiderman Birthday Party as well.
1. Spider-man on Buildings Cake
This is a professional Spider-man cake made by Cakes by Stephen, but we think you could pull it off just the same. It’s got a great 3-D effect and some fairly sophisticated icing for bricks, but if you simplified that you could still get the same effect.
You could try this cake with two rectangular cakes, simpler icing and then purchase a Spider-man toy (or we’re sure your kid has one lying around!) and a ladder toy.
2. Spiderman Bust Birthday Cake
We’ve seen a number of Spiderman bust cakes, and this is a great example. Making a cake like this is definitely challenging – not only is it 3-D but the shape is very precise.
And since we’re not experts at making cakes (just finding them online and eating them!) we’re not sure how the head is stuck onto the body. My guess is that there’s some wiring inside the cake; and if that’s the case you want to be careful when you cut into it!
This one is from TN Something Special Cakes and it looks great. Of course, we’re not sure how you fit it into the fridge…but I guess that’s another story.
3. Artistic Spiderman Cake
We like this cake because it has a polished, artistic look. The stylized buildings are great, and unique from other Spiderman cakes we’ve seen. This cake is from Cupcake Sisters.
We do think you could pull off something similar, possibly just using basic frosting as well as simplifying the buildings / cityscape using chocolate bars.
The presentation here is just “nice and welcoming” and we think this cake would be great for an older child or even a young adult who still loves Spider-man!
4. Madhatter Spiderman Birthday Cake
Simply put, we’ve never seen a Spiderman cake like this before! What’s incredible is that Nati (the maker) actually didn’t want it to turn out this way. She was using a new technique, trying something new, and according to her, it didn’t turn out exactly right.
But to us it looks fantastic.
It’s unique, fun and very stylized. The use of black with pastel colors instead of primary colors adds a level of sophistication that we don’t often see in Spiderman birthday cakes. So while Nati thinks it’s not perfect, all we can say is “congrats!”
5. Towering Spiderman Cake with Cupcakes
Who doesn’t like a giant cake and cupcakes? Although Nanik’s wife who made the cake is a baker, we think this is the kind of cake that anyone can pull off – with a bit of work and careful preparation.
The icing is very colorful and nicely done, you could tone it done and simplify if you’d like. The key is really the cupcakes, they add tons of color and decoration. And we love the use of the Spiderman cutouts on the cake as well.
6. Cartoon Spiderman Cake
We know Spiderman is a cartoon, and so every cake with Spiderman is technically a “cartoon Spider-man cake” but this one has a certain style to it that makes it stand out. This was professionally done by Specialized Cakes for Every Occasion in the UK but it’s also something that we think anyone could pull off. You might not get the icing exactly right – but the basic shape should be pretty straightforward.
Really, the icing is always the challenge on these types of cakes, but this one looks fairly straightforward, so we think you can give it a try!
7. Realistic Spider-man Birthday Cake
Out of all the cakes we’ve seen, we think this one has the best picture of Spider-man. It looks like he’s jumping right off the page of a comic book! At first we thought the Spiderman was a paper cutout – but it really does look like icing.
This is the kind of cake that’s hard to cut into and eat; it just looks so good! And the tinfoil around the plate at the bottom is a great touch, it just makes the cake pop off the plate!
8. Action Figure Spiderman Birthday Cake
This is another professionally-made cake but we think you can pull it off!
The key is really the action figures and the toy at the very top. Kids love to see toys on cakes — and why wouldn’t they? It looks cool and they know they get to play with the toys after.
We would suggest trying to buy smaller action figures or figurines, and get one per kid attending the party. That way you can distribute them after the cake is presented and the candles are blown out.
9. Venom Birthday Cake
We’ve never quite seen anything like this cake. For starters it’s a bad guy – Venom – it’s 3-D and it’s amazing! I’m not sure it’s suitable for a younger child’s birthday party but for an older kid (between 8-14) this cake would certainly stand out.
And cutting it up – you wouldn’t feel as bad – since you’d be beating the bad guy! We can see this cake working beautifully with the Spiderman Birthday party theme. Especially if you create invitations that tell guests that they’ll come to beat Venom.
Another idea is to purchase some Spiderman figurines and place them around the cake so it looks like they’re fighting the giant Venom head.
10. Spiderman and Batman Birthday Cake
We have to put this cake on the list because of the combination of Spiderman and Batman, two of the most popular superheroes for birthday parties.
The cake comes from megpi but we don’t know how it was done. The cake itself is a basic shape, but it comes down to the incredible icing work. And I’m a big fan of the yellow icing, it’s not a color we see often with Spiderman or Batman, but it makes the two figures pop out in a big way.
11. The Kitchen Sink Spiderman Cake
This is one of the stranger cakes we found, mostly because of all the crazy stuff that was put on it! In fact, I think there’s even a Spider-man toothbrush on the cake. That’s the first time we’ve ever seen a toothbrush on a cake, but it makes sense — lots of sugar and then dental hygiene. So parents will appreciate this cake even more…
We’d love to see a bigger picture of this cake along with a list of all the items that are on it because it looks incredible. This cake is from Baby Cakes R Us but there’s no reason you couldn’t do something similar.
Just think about how you can make your child’s Spiderman cake interactive!

Angela Colet made this amazing and entertaining Pokemon birthday cake. We’ve called it a “Pokemon Soccer Cake” because it looks a bit like a soccer field, and if you wanted to take that a step further for a Pokemon-soccer fanatic you absolutely could! But we suspect this is really a “battle arena” for all the Pokemon figurines.
This is one of the coolest Pokemon birthday cakes we’ve ever seen. The perspective on the face is wonderful. The cake was made by bake.bite.love.
This is a Pikachu cake extraordinaire! It’s got everything you’d want in a perfect Pokemon birthday cake – Pikachu, a Poke Ball and lightning bolts!
Pokemon aren’t just for boys! Here’s a beautiful, fun Pikachu cake for a girl’s 8-year old birthday party. It’s an adorable cake with a great image of Pikachu on the front. 
Chocolate cake under tons of icing! That’s according to the cake-maker, who we wholly congratulate for making a wonderful Pikachu birthday cake.
Bar none this is the most incredible Harry Potter cake we’ve ever seen! It ranks right up there as one of the most incredible cakes we’ve ever seen, regardless of theme!
