Don’t Look At This Marvel Zombies Cake, It’ll Eat Your Brains!

Thanks for visiting Cakes with Character. This is a test site.  For more awesome cakes, cupcakes and cookies please visit Between The Pages Blog.

This wonderful Marvel Zombies Cake was made by Michelle from Sweet Flair.

It’s pretty obvious who three of the characters are – Spider-Man, Captain America & Wolverine.  But can you identify the fourth?

I’ll give you a hint – While he has appeared in dozens of comic books, only two of them were published by Marvel.

 

The mysterious fourth character is Flash Gordon.  Michelle added Flash because the person who ordered the cake was dressing up as Flash Gordon for Halloween.
