Coolest Formula 1 Race Car Cake

This was not made using a 3-D pan. This was my first crack at using fondant.  This cake was baked in a 9×13 pan. After completely cooled,  I cut the cake into appropriate pieces to create the car shape. Miscellaneous cake pieces were placed on the car to make the drivers’ pit and the rear spoiler. I covered the entire car in fondant. Tires are completely made of fondant. Driver’s head is made of all fondant.

I piped the details with butter cream and also black sparkle decorating gel. The base is a thin sheet cake which I covered in butter cream and piped a border. I didn’t want just the car sitting on it’s own. I needed to serve more people.  Everything used to make the car is edible. My son was THRILLED with this cake. He didn’t want to cut into it.  I’m pretty happy with how this came out.
