Shadow the Hedgehog is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Shadow is an artificially-created life form. His trademark hover shoes propel him at extreme speeds that rival those
of Sonic, and with a Chaos Emerald he has the ability to distort time
and space using "Chaos Control." Often referred to as being the "Ultimate Life Form," he is a black and crimson male hedgehog that debuted in Sonic Adventure 2. He resembles Sonic in many ways, such as the ability to travel at incredible speeds. He is Sonic's rival and is the antithesis of Sonic himself in all aspects of his life. He has been featured in a variety of media, including his own self-titled game. Shadow works together with either Sonic's group or Dr. Eggman, depending on what suits his own needs. (via Wikipedia)
So when asked to create a cake for a birthday with Shadow the Hedgehog I realized there was a lot of detail in this character that had to be just right. From the boots to the spikes I had to make this one as true to the design as possible.
Shadow is taking a day off from chasing Dr. Eggman or working with Sonic. He's enjoying a relaxing day at the ocean and taking in the surf. After all, every hard working hedgehog needs a little R & R.
