Sam's Lightening Mcqueen Birthday Cake

Sam's Lightening Mcqueen Birthday Cake on Cake Central

This by far has been the most challenging cake that I have made. 1/2 sheet cake, French Vanilla and Triple Chocolate marble cake, Toba Garrett's mocha icing with ganache for filling, black fondant squares for top of the cake to make the checkerboard. Car cake is Wilton's 3D car pan, French Vanilla, no filling, covered in fondant, candy melts for tires. Learned alot of what NOT to do with this cake. Everyone loved it, especially the taste. Sam was grinning from ear to ear!
