My Mother emailed me yesterday at 4:45 needing a cake by 7:00pm on Friday - well, I work full time which limits what I can do when. Time really isnt the issue, the issue is I have little to nothing to go on. The cake is for a friend (male), in his late 50's. They all hang out together at a singles club, and he likes antique cars. He is relocating to another state for work purposes.
Any ideas? Cake just needs to be small, so I am doing 2 8' rounds.
Thanks in advance.
i think adamsmom was saying to do an image on the cake with the frozen buttercream transfer (FBCT) process. there is an article on how to here on the site and it's an easy way to get an image done.
What I would probably do in the same situation is go find a cookie cutter in the shape of an old car and cut out a fondant car to go on the top of the cake and decorate that with some black cutout wheels, etc.
I like the cookie cutter idea - most people wouldn't care that it's not 100% accurate.
Maybe a suitcase cake, with the state bird/ pie/ flag etc.
Or just the regular stand bys, stripe, retro dots, balloons.

Well, this cake is done and in my photos (black stripes). The topper isnt on yet, but will be before Mom takes it up the road this evening. The blue border represents his passion for wearing blue jeans, the black stripes are the asphalt and the yellow is the yellow lines on the highway. Then the caution sign that states, "we will miss you."
Thanks for looking.
