So maybe it's just me, but what's a woody car?

Gotcha. Thought maybe that was why you weren't getting many responses. icon_smile.gif

Unfortunately, I have no experience making car cakes, but looking at some of the pictures, I'd go with fondant. Just looking at all the different pieces of wood on the back of the car - fondant to me looks like it'd be the better way to go.

well, I'd use both

fondant for the panels and royal for the little details light grill work, headlights, etc. The royal could be done off the cake, hit w/ sliver luster for the chrome look and then added to cake.

below is an image of a woody car cake from Carlocks Bakeryl

and a really cute little toy car for inspiration.

Doug you are always so awesome!
Do you know if there's a way for me to get a hold of the person that did that 2nd one so I could ask how they did it?
That is exactly how I want it with the white wall tires and surfboard on top. I wonder how you could get the wood look on the fondant? Should i frost the whole cake with frosting then just do the panels with fondant and the chrome parts royal?
