Coolest Bolt Cake

Homemade Bolt Cake
I made three Brown Sugar pound cakes in cookie sheets. Then froze them for about 3 hours (after they had completely cooled at room temperature). Then I iced them together and got a Bolt picture from the internet and enlarged it and cut it out. I put the Bolt picture on top of the cakes and cut around it.
The cookie sheet was a little bit too small so I had to cut the ear out from one of the scraps and ice it on. I then put a scratch coat of icing on and froze the cake for 12 hrs. I placed it on a upside down cookie sheet that I had baked it in. But it was too big to fit on the inverted cookie pan so I used my daughter's Barbie doll bath tub to hold the ear up. That's the part of pink you can see beside the ear.
I then iced the Bolt cake according to the picture from the internet. I used my own butter cream icing recipe and it took 5 batches for me to have enough icing. It was surprisingly easy and fun. It did take a lot of time though but my daughter who was turning 3 loved it.
