Captain America Pistachio Cake

for my very own superhero <3

I wanted to make my bf a Captain America birthday cake because he is somewhat of a superhero fan, so anything superhero will be ideal. Of all superheros, I wanted to find one that at least relates to him so I chose Captain America. It's not because he enjoys the movie or the character, it's solely because the character reminded me of him with the Letter A on the helmet (his name starts with an A). For more details, please check out my blog :)
