I have gone over this a million times in mind as to how I should go about making a 3-D stand up yellow cab. I'll attach the photo below. Has anyone here made a car before that could offer any advice or pitfalls to avoid????

Thanks!

My very first novelty cake was a yellow taxi. (Not fantastic, but it was fun!) I didn't know about tinting fondant at all then, so I hand-painted the car with food colourings...

(HIT "DOWNLOAD" IN THE BOX BELOW......)

You could use the 3D Wilton Car pan and then just trim it to adjust the shape if you need to. I used it to make my Wiggles car in my photos, of course that was before I had used MMF or had learned to smooth my buttercream to look like fondant, still just doing stars but I think it turned out good. I used the chocolate covered oreos for the tires and junior mints brushed with silver luster dust for the lights.

Here's the finished product! It's not perfect. I was not happy with how bumpy the fondant looks, but the cake below was crumbling as I was putting the crumbcoat on it!

The man it was for was thrilled and I was pleased on the whole with the finished product!

I think it looks great! And if there is any bumps....well the driver gets in a lot of accidents, hehe=)
