Coolest Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake

Yes, this is another Lightning McQueen birthday cake. There are already many beautiful Lightning McQueen cakes on this site! It is too bad I’ve found this site after making the cake. There are a lot of good tips on the site!

But about this cake. My mother and I made this cake for the celebration of a 3 year old boy. At first we were brainstorming about how to make the cake. When we decided it had to be the car as a cake we wanted to do something with “standing on the wheels”. So we saw a wooden board some smaller than we were planning the size of the cake.

The baked cake started as a rectangular shape. Than carving the shape of the body. With some of the pieces we cut off, we shaped the roof and the spoiler. Put the body on the smaller board and made a spacing for the wheels (with a glass). Then filled it with a pudding and covered the cake with icing.

After that covered it with pre-colored red marzipan. And made the details and pasted them on. The mouth is cut and after that put a little white fondant under it. That was a little mistake, it would be easier to put the white on the cake (with baking paper) before the red. On the headlight we used some pearl dusting powder.

We were a little afraid for making this cake, but are proud on the result.
