3. Smash Cake & Cupcakes
Hulk parties are not complete without a smashing Hulk cake and cupcakes. My favorite design was a giant green fist, perfectly capturing the mighty strength of the Incredible Hulk.
However, a detailed Hulk cake can be a little challenging to do at home, especially with all the decorating and planning happening all over. You can make a simple base Hulk cake and order tiny green fists as a Hulk cake topper.
