Using a serrated knife, cut the edges of the cake off so that it’s level.
-
Next, cut the cake vertically down the center so you have two small rectangles. If needed, level the tops of the cakes using the serrated knife.
-
Place a few spoonfuls of frosting on the top of one of the rectangles. Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting into an even layer.
-
Place the second rectangle on top of the frosting so that the bottom of the cake is on top.
-
Use the serrated knife to make two horizontal cuts across the cake, dividing the cake into three separate smaller rectangles.
-
Cut the corners off of the rectangle cakes to mirror Thor’s Hammer’s edges.
-
Place a couple spoonfuls of frosting onto one of the cakes. Use an offset spatula to frost the cake, making the frosting evenly covers the top and sides. Repeat with the remaining two cakes. Place the cakes in the refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, divide the silver fondant into three chunks. Work with one chunk at a time, storing the rest in the container so it doesn’t dry out.
-
Place the fondant on a piece of wax or parchment paper and roll out to about ¼ inch thickness.
-
Drape the fondant over one of the cakes. Gently press and pull the fondant over the cake until it is smooth. Cut off any excess fondant as you go. Repeat with the remaining two cakes.
-
Use a small knife to cut a hole in the centers of the cake. Gently press one of the pirouette cookie halves into the hole to make the hammer’s handle. Repeat with the remaining two cakes.
