I just wanted to update everyone on my progress. If you remember, my husband wanted make him a cake for an upcoming car show. He wanted it to be his car, with antifreeze and oil coming out of it, and a character of him, saying piece of junk. When he asked me, I thought it would be an impossible task. I'm always up for a good challenge, but wasn't real excited about tackling this one! I came on here for advice and support and that got me started! I want to say a BIG thanks to everyone who responded and gave me advice and encouragement. A special thanks goes out to Doug and Aine for their suggestions, techniques and support. I couldn't have done it without you. The topper is finally done. It is made totally of a mixture of Wilton, and MMF. I normally use only MMF, but thought with the car being so large (about 7" long), the Wilton fondant would be a little stiffer and give it more body. I will be baking a simple lemon 9x13 sheet cake iced in bc this week. The topper will go on it and I will pipe a simple border around it to cover the edges of the board. What a great experience this turned out to be! Thanks again everyone I appreciate the help. I have posted a picture of the topper in my pictures if you care to take a peek!

Thanks again everyone, I'm already starting to think about my next project. (I only do this as a hobby.) DelightsByE, I live about 30 miles north of Baltimore. The car show is in Westminster at the AG Center next Saturday and Sunday and there is a Steam Show going on at the same time at the Farm Museum. I think the Car Show is called "High Octane".
