DS's bday party is this saturday, and my original creation fell through. Am I too late at even attempting to make one? I looked on pinterest and the superhero cakes are incredible, but not something do-able for a beginner baker. Anyone have any luck at a DIY superhero cake? I would love to see your creations or links, or I would also love someone to tell me to suck it up and just buy one too!

I used the technique from that blog to make a pumpkin cake this year. It was simple, but still cute and saved me hours of piping cupcakes to look like pumpkins
You could try it with one or several superhero logos, or maybe one super hero character?

Though I have never tried it myself, a couple of my siblings rave about the technique in that tutorial!
A couple of our libraries here have cake pans you can check out just like books. I baked DS a Cars cake for his 3rd birthday and followed the instructions that came with the cake pan. It was tedious but not difficult.
I was in the same place at you for my DD 2nd B-day cake( my cake fell apart and crumbled everywhere) so I went to the store and bought a plain premade cake that only had a border on it they I iced on the saying and added the plastic animals and barn. Everyone thought I bought it that way, Hey sometimes as a mom you can cheat and still be SUPERMOM!
I would just order a plain white cake and add some of his superhero guys on top and call it a day!
