Batman Cave Ice-cream Cake

This worked out really well. Thankfully when I asked my godson what cake he would like this year for his birthday he chose an easy one … ice-cream cake! I broke my leg in June so being in a cast stopped all baking and use of oven unfortunately.
I took the easy option this time round, rather than making my own ice-cream (which I usually would do) I bought a block, plonked it down on a board, scooped out a section (for cave effect) and plonked it on top of the block and then covered it with my already rolled black icing. Yes, that simple!
Before I took the ice-cream out of the freezer, I prepared the rolled icing in different colours. I covered the board with green grass and a grayish/black path. I made little pebbles for interest and made trees along the side and bats to place on the cave.
As part of his gift I bought a batman as I knew he'd prefer the toy rather than an iced version longterm. Batman was placed running out of the cave.
