Homemade Lightning Mc Queen Birthday Cake
I made this Lightning Mc Queen Birthday Cake for my son's third birthday. I have never done anything like this before so it was a little scary. I got a lot of my ideas from this website.
First I used three 13x9 pans and stacked them together. My husband took on the challenge of carving out the car. I did buy the 3-d mold for backup. But, we never had to use it.
I used fondant for the lightning bolts,eyes,and the number three. The tires are made out of donuts wrapped in fondant. For the spoiler on the back I used straws to hold it up and then covered it up with buttercreme frosting. I would suggest to freeze the cake before frosting because I did get a few crumbs in the frosting.
To smooth it out I used a knife dipped in warm water. ALSO, to make it look like the colors are running on the bolts I used food coloring then ran my finger on it dipped in water and smoothed it all over.
Everyone loved this cake!
