Car's Theme

Car's Theme on Cake Central

Two tier cake done for a little boy alergic to eggs, we did the top tier egg free and the bottom tier yellow. 6 and 10 in size. I added a little cake around the front to make a roadway. Cake covered in BC, well with all the rocks on the sides I guess you could say also covered in fondant:) Cars molded out of fondant. Thank goodness I have a little boy who owns all of the cars from the movie, so I could look at them as I molded the cars. Ramone was covered in edible glitter dust, other cars lustered.

yes, iced in light brown buttercream and then mixed some brown gel into white fondant but not all the way, you know, to make it look verigated, then just rolled out pieces for the sides and put together like a mosaic.

THank you so much for the comments, I have a great cake partner (my m.i.law) doesn't decorate, but has amazing ideas and helps with the details. A lot of this cake was her idea:)

It did take a little while only b/c of how many cars I made out of fondant, but it was very enjoyable, I bet you'll do just fine:)
