My 5 year old son requested that his birthday cake should be modeled on my husband's real life car, basically a souped up Mustang. I ordered Mike McCarey's car cake DVD but it did not arrive in time so I had to wing it using advice from fellow CC'ers - thank you! The car is carved out of an 11x15 strawberry cake which was halved and stacked. The windscreens are modeling chocolate, the mirrors, wheels and spoilers are gumpaste. The whole cake is covered in fondant and painted with water to make it shiny. It is the first cake I have ever felt sad to cut, it was just so little and cute.
