Coolest Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my son’s 3rd birthday. He was so excited! I used an image from a coloring book and taped a piece of wax paper over the top so I could “trace” the picture with my piping bag.

When the frosting was set I turned it over on top of the cake pressing gently to leave the indent of the piped picture in the frosting of the cake. This made a guide for me to pipe the outline on the homemade Lightning McQueen birthday cake. I then filled the outline in with corn syrup icing. I liked the corn syrup icing for this because it stays shiny when it dries. My son Loved it!
