Homemade Racing Car Birthday Cake

This Racing Car Birthday Cake is from the Debbie Brown book "50 Easy Party Cakes". I wouldn't call it easy but it was the first fancy cake I have ever made so I am happy with how it turned out.

It starts from a 25cm square cake. cut in half. One half is for the main body of the cake. Trim either side at front to taper in and trim to slop down. Cut a wedge measuring 5cm from the other half and use to lengthen the cake. Cut another wedge 4cm to heighten the back of the cake. From remaining cake cut 2 pieces for either side of the car.

The decoration is mostly rolled icing coloured. My tires turned out a bit flat!
